Originally from Wiltshire I moved to Orkney with my Mum & Dad later moving to Yorkshire and settling in Northallerton with my Husband & two girls Rachael & Hazel. I have worked for ABN since January 1992 and held a varying number of roles during my time in the business, including several years at Sullivan’s trading Birds.

Out of work my hobbies include swimming, walking, watching live music, watching the Moto GP and shopping with my girls enjoying a cheeky cocktail when we stop for Lunch.

Originally, I joined ABN in 1996 after graduating from Scottish Agricultural College. Once I had completed my training in East Anglia, I relocated back over the Scottish border, to support our growth in poultry feed. Following a period out of the business, I am now in my second spell with ABN bringing home with me a wide range of knowledge gained throughout my career.

My father built his Broiler chicken farm in 1965, at which point the chickens were nearly as tall as me! After graduating from Harper Adams as one of the first group of students to gain a BSc in Agricultural technology, I started work at Devon Crest Poultry. Here I worked in roles such as field management, chick placement and kill planning and transport planning. I also wrote all the production technical manuals when all that stuff started to become fashionable. When Devon Crest closed, I moved to Lloyd Maunder in a similar role and helped put all the producers through NVQ level 3. In 2012 I joined ABN looking after Poultry producers in the South West.

I Live in Exmouth with Alexis and Jacob and we have a naughty Border terrier called Sunny.

Raised in Bedfordshire, I could often be found outdoors and surrounded by animals. Without a plan, I followed my passion, working in both the equine and ruminant industries for a short time after completing my degree in Bioveterinary Science at Harper Adams in 2015.

Deciding I needed a new challenge, I joined AB Agri on their QA Nutrition graduate scheme in 2016, subsequently progressing through a number of roles in the QA function and latterly within People and Performance. Moving into the Commercial Team, I am most looking forward to collaborating and spending time with customers and building my network across the industry.

Outside of work, my family keeps me entertained! I can be found either transporting my twins, James and Ellie, to one of thier various hobbies/ interests/ playdates, out walking the dogs, or catching up with friends.

Raised in the Scottish Borders, I have been surrounded by agriculture and countryside my entire life. After graduating with a BA (Hons) in Rural Business Management from the Scottish Rural University College, Edinburgh in 2018, I joined Glenrath Farms, working within their recently established liquid egg processing factory. Since taking on my role as account manager for Sportsman in 2020, I have  moved across to the ABN Poultry team, where I continue to enjoy getting out and about, meeting new customers and building relationships across the industry. 

Outside of work I enjoy staying fit and active playing rugby for my home town club, Peebles Rugby Club, where I have progressed through from school into the senior first XV set up. Off the rugby pitch you can find me in the countryside, enjoying the occasional round of golf, on long walks with my black Labrador Nero and socialising with family and friends. 

I grew up in South London, moving to Peterborough when I was 10. In 2009 I joined ABN as an administrator and have had various roles since, including Adminstration Team Manager.

I live in a village just outside Pontefract with my 2 Greyhounds. I enjoy going to the theatre, eating out with friends and family, especially my grandson, and can be found most weekends exploring the local countryside with the dogs.

On graduating from Nottingham University in 1995, I joined Cherry Valley Farms in a Technical and Nutrition development role. Over the next 21 years, my role progressed and evolved to encompass the responsibility of commercial breeding, hatching and growing for the commercial duck business as well as nutrition for the both the commercial and genetic duck breeding businesses. In 2016 I joined the ABN poultry nutrition team with responsibilities for product development and nutritional technical support in the UK. In 2018, I was promoted to Senior Nutritionist, overseeing the poultry nutrition team .

When not at work, I am a keen cook, gardener and hobby beekeeper.

I joined the ABN poultry nutrition team in 2016, after undertaking my PhD in poultry nutrition with SRUC and the University of Glasgow. My PhD, which looked at super-dosing of phytase was part sponsored by AB Vista, a sister company of ABN, and is very relevant to my role as a poultry nutritionist. I am involved in all areas of poultry nutrition, primarily focusing on broilers, game birds, organic production and R&D.

I came to ABN as a poultry nutritionist in August 2019 after completing my PhD at Harper Adams University. I am currently working with the nutrition team and am involved in the provision of technical support to various poultry accounts and development of new products.

Away from the office I enjoy spending time with my boys and going out for long walks with my family. I love to watch cricket whenever possible and follow both the England and Pakistan cricket teams.
