Global crop protection company, Adama, have appointed Catherine Whaley to the role of head of development in the UK.
The appointment comes following the promotion of Jackie Passey to Adama’s Global Product Development team.
Ms Whaley is joining the company from i2L Research, where she worked to develop the company into a leading global research organisation for molluscicide research and development and registration, and for creating a recognised European testing capability across the UK, Spain and Czech Republic. She was also involved in furthering the company as a contract research organisation, specialising in bio-rational products including bio-insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and molluscicides products.
Adama UK’s managing director, Ben Miles, shared his delight at welcoming Ms Whaley to the team. He said: “We look forward to working with her to develop and implement our ongoing product development strategy. Catherine will also play a pivotal role as we work towards securing the registration of a pipeline of new products in the UK, all of which are being designed and developed to ensure tomorrow’s farmers have the tools they need to produce healthy and profitable crops.”
