This bit of homework was done by a fellow forum member, well done that man.
wasn't sure if anyone had done any digging into the ownership and stakeholders of the AIC, so I had a little look on companies house and I'm pretty horrified by what I found.
AIC is similar to RT in that it is a Ltd company without shareholders and acts as the holding company for AIC services Ltd that operates the assurance schemes and membership. AIC has 14 directors which change regularly so I assume are elected positions. AIC services has 6 directors, which change less often so I assume are permanent management positions. Some have positions on both boards, I assume this is for supervision by the holding company.
What has shocked me the most is the breadth of our supply chain that the AIC has its tentacles in via directorships. I guess it's no surprise really that Fert suppliers, chemical suppliers, feed mills, etc would be among them, but also what I thought were farmer co-ops and the BSPB.
I have listed below the directors of both the AIC companies and each directors affiliation through either shared directorships or implied by correspondence address.
