ForFarmers welcomes poultry team's expansion

ForFarmers has welcomed four new team members to its expanding poultry team, bringing a high calibre of knowledge and trusted experience, the company announced.

James Tilley, Christopher Burton, James Girdler and Harry Atkinson started earlier this month at ForFarmers.

ForFarmers' poultry sales director, David Hilldrith, said: "Our new recruits bring a wealth of experience. The expansion of our team will deliver a vital link to the producer which will support the growth of the ForFarmers' poultry offering across the United Kingdom."

Three of the new employees - all poultry account mangers - offer sales support covering all poultry sectors. James Tilley has joined to cover the northwest of the UK, bringing an array of sales and procurement experience and on-farm expertise from his farm and wholesale business in Denbigh.

Focusing on the Midlands and M1 corridor, Christopher Burton joins the team with a wealth of on-hand experience and understanding across broiler, mill and sales managerial roles.

James Girdler has transitioned to the poultry team having previously worked as a ForFarmers trainee commercial nutritionist. His role brings a focus to organic feed sales in the southern half of the UK, along with a concentration on the ForFarmers Turkey strategy.

Providing technical support to the poultry and game sectors, Harry Atkinson additionally joins the ForFarmers with a notable range of experiences in past roles in the animal feed sector.
