“We are delighted to welcome David back to ADAMA’s UK marketing and technical team,” explains Go To Market Director, Alison Bosher. “David was an instrumental part of the UK team when he originally joined the company six years ago and has been similarly invaluable in his recent European role.
“Mr Roberts’ appointment comes at a crucial stage in the development and expansion of our molluscicide, PGR and sugar beet and oilseed rape specific crop protection portfolios in the UK and I know his technical expertise and proven marketing experience will be a great asset to our own regulatory, agronomy and commercial teams and to their counterparts within each of ADAMA’s key customer accounts.”
