Who We Are

Kim A Campbell MBA, M Eng Sc, BE, MIEAust
Chairman and Managing Director

Co-founder of Fodder King Ltd, it has been Kim’s vision for a vibrant new Australian led agricultural enterprise that has attracted and retained investors and supporters alike in what is normally a deeply conservative industry sector.

Graduating from one of Australia’s top business schools, the AGSM, Kim had a distinguished early career in the resources sector before returning to his family’s roots in Agriculture. His engineering knowledge and experience in the resources sector has proved invaluable in developing opportunities for the passive treatment and beneficial-use of wastewater incorporating the use of fodder crops.

In leading the early development FK’s underlying technology and seeing it through to successful small scale commercial operations, Kim has demonstrated a tenacity and determination that has wide industry respect. His knowledge of the commercial dynamics of the fodder industry is second to none.

Kim has generated a profile for FK in the print, radio and audio-visual media, such that it has become almost a household name. He has also represented the company and delivered papers at various relevant industry conferences, which have generated widespread interest and attention.

Paul T McCardell MA, Dip Mod Lang, MBA, GDA, BE(Hons), MIEAust
Executive Director of Operations and Company Secretary

Co-founder of Fodder King Ltd, Paul has led the development of FK’s production and marketing operations and influenced corporate strategy since the very beginning. Of more recent times, Paul has pioneered and built the company’s consulting arm which has made some significant breakthroughs in the utilisation of water generated as a by-product of the municipal, mining and CSG industries.

Paul is a graduate of IMD business school. Before joining forces with Kim to found Fodder King, he had a successful career as consultant in industrial marketing, working with well-known public companies involved in capital goods, agriculture, transport and chemicals.

Informed by his early experiences as a project engineer, Paul has a clear understanding of the systems and processes necessary for production ramp-up to enable FK to become the dominant participant in the fodder industry supporting the growth in Australia’s beef and dairy industry exports. His experience has proved invaluable in developing the company’s expertise with soil beneficiation and the beneficial-use of wastewater incorporating the use of fodder crops.
