Mr Daubney’s appointment follows the move of the previous Arable Marketing Director, Lee Robinson to Managing Director for the whole business.
Mr Daubney who has worked for Limagrain UK, part of Group Limagrain, the largest plant breeder and seed development company in the UK and Europe, since 2006 has held a range of responsibilities throughout the marketing team and therefore has first-hand experience of the many different requirements of a very busy department that services both seed trade and farmer clients year round.
“This is a really exciting time for plant breeding as genetics become increasingly important on farm, and as a company owned by farmers our focus is to continue to develop varieties that meet the needs of growers and industry. It is crucial that we are able to support all those involved in the seed business from merchants to growers to get the very best out of the products that we are bringing to the market place and this is an area that I will continue to lead and progress.”
