Crop nutrition and soil health specialist, Timac Agro UK, has recruited Simon Gillett to lead its South Central regional team.

Based in Salisbury, Mr Gillett joins the business with an extensive technical background in fertiliser manufacturing and 10 years’ experience developing distributor relations.

Mr Gillett says: “Joining Timac Agro UK has allowed me to take the next step in my career and pursue my passion for driving sustainability in the crop nutrition sector.

“With a scientific background, seeing the direction the company is going in developing innovative crop nutrition and soil health solutions that fit into the ‘regenerative’ landscape, is incredibly motivating,” he says.

“Its investment into research and development on a global scale drew me to the role and I look forward to using this as a resource to deliver data-driven results on-farm.”

Mr Gillett adds: “It’s been a challenging winter for farmers, with crops under water for weeks on end. It’ll be critical these next few months to get land and revenue back on track and I strongly believe there’s still hope with the correct nutrient management plan in place.”

James Hay, country manager at Timac Agro UK, says the South Central team is now stronger than ever, with Mr Gillett leading the way as manager.

“Simon brings a wealth of agronomic expertise and fertiliser market experience to the role, and we’re delighted to have him on board,” he explains.
