The speciality
agriculture division of ICL is pleased to announce the appointment of a new
technical sales manager, Dr Richard Collins, who will be joining the team in
January.
Richard comes from
an academic background, having worked previously as a senior lecturer and
researcher in crop sciences at the University Centre Myerscough, and is looking
forward to applying this skill set in his new role.
“Research is a real
passion of mine and I’ve conducted various collaborative projects in the
agricultural and amenity turf sectors, trialling biostimulant products for
plant health and establishment, foliar fertilisers, and seed treatments,” he
says.
“These opportunities
have allowed me to build key industry relationships that I’m looking forward to
enhancing in my new role,” adds Richard.
He explains that his
daily role will entail ongoing technical development of the ICL product range,
as well as providing agronomic support to customers.
“I wanted a new
challenge, and I’m looking forward to getting out and about, forging
relationships with our customers, and selling a great range of quality
products,” says Richard.
“The sector is going
through a period of change, bringing about a certain level of uncertainty for
growers. This is where I feel I can, and want to make, a real difference.”
