Who are BX?
Our Founder
BX is the brainchild of Ben Bardsley, a former fruit farmer and decorated Afghanistan veteran.
Over his 8 years as CEO of Bardsley England, one of the largest fruit farmers in the UK, Ben saw a deeper challenge facing the industry: agriculture was rich in data but poor in usable intelligence. The information was there — in systems, spreadsheets, sensors — but it was fragmented, siloed, and hard to act on.
BX was created to fix that. By turning messy farm data into clear, decision-ready insights, BX gives farming enterprises the intelligence they need to farm smarter — season after season, generation after generation.
A word from Ben
I founded BX to give farming enterprises the intelligence they need to make better decisions — not just for today, but for the future. Having been a farmer myself, I know how hard it is to balance productivity, sustainability, and long-term resilience. That experience is what drives BX: helping producers turn their data into lasting value, for their business and for generations to come.
