Who We Are
The Hudye’s bring a rich legacy of successful ventures across North America. They are deeply embedded in the Phoenix community and recently achieved a commendable feat by divesting their corporate holdings in Phoenix’s commercial real estate, valued at over $175 million. Moreover, Ben & Greg Hudye stand as two of the Founders of Zenith Bank & Trust, a notable achievement as it’s the inaugural bank established in Arizona in 2023.
The Hudye Group
Four Secrets of Success
There is no such thing as overnight success. Since its beginning, The Hudye Group has tried to follow these 4 simple principles.
Company History
Empowering your Financial Choices globally
The Hudye Group began as a Canadian family farm in the 1940s. Over the course of the last 60+ years and as new generations of Hudyes have joined our leadership team, we established multiple primary production and retail companies. Along the way, we also broadened our investments into equity stakes in oil, gas, wind energy, and commercial and residential properties across western North America.
Between 2012 and 2015, the Hudye Group successfully completed divestment from agricultural investments to concentrate on real estate holdings in high-growth markets such as metro Phoenix, Arizona. In the past our resort style, multi-family residential communities and various commercial properties and luxury rental properties were geared towards capital asset appreciation potential as well. By recognizing opportunities and strategically reallocating into select asset classes, the Hudye Group has experienced continued growth.
“No one works for us, they work with us.”
BEN HUDYE
Our Team
Ben Hudye
CHAIRMAN/PRESIDENT
At an early age, Ben learned from his father, the Hudye Farms family Patriarch, Paul Hudye, that relationships truly matter. He wanted to help build a family business and process that would allow him to expand his asset base, but also fulfill his family’s career aspirations. At the same time, he wanted to instill an employee philosophy that everyone at Hudye is family—”no one works for us, they work with us.” Ben has led the organization through full business cycles – particularly in Agriculture – and the redeployment of capital into diverse asset classes, currently being Real Estate. Ben is proud to be working with family and he finds it especially rewarding to continue the Hudye tradition of giving back to the community.
Greg Hudye
DIRECTOR | VICE PRESIDENT
Greg, like his father and brother, puts high stock in family and friends. As a member of the second generation of Hudyes to be involved in the family business, Greg grew up with a passion for farming and a mind for business. A respected specialist in networking, negotiations, and innovative problem solving, Greg believes the best thing about being successful in this business is that he gets to share it with family. Greg is proud to be working with family and he finds it especially rewarding to continue the Hudye tradition of giving back to the community.
