David Prior (entrepreneur)

David Prior is an Australian businessman who became notable in the yoghurt business. He built up the yoghurt brand five:am from scratch in 2009, and sold it in 2014 to UK-based consumer products company PZ Cussons for $80 million. In 2013 the company employed 65 staff, supplied over a thousand outlets around Australia, delivered 250% increase in revenue over the previous year and won the 2013 "Company to Watch" award.

Before that, he partnered with his father in 1997 to create the sustainable packaging company Baroda, running it successfully for ten years before selling it to packaging giant Visy.

In January 2015 Prior bought the mothballed Scotch distillery Bladnoch and said he plans to resume production from the 200-year-old establishment.
