As part of its expansion plans, Adama has appointed Alistair Eccles as its manager for Scotland.
He will be responsible for developing and delivering a commercial strategy by working closely with key buyers and commercial managers within the UK and Ireland arable sector. He will also provide technical support to growers, agronomists and trade partners in Scotland.
His career in crop protection started with a nine-year spell working in commercial and business development roles for CSC Crop Protection and then AgrEvo. He subsequently moved into a direct sales role working for ProCam in Scotland, where he gained valuable experience selling a range of crop protection products to the country’s arable farmers.
In 2006, his focus shifted to the amenity grass seed sector with commercial roles at Germinal, DLF Seeds and Agrovista Amenity where he was responsible for developing sales to golf courses, winter sports stadiums and turf growers.
Mr Eccles is based in Perth and will provide technical support to Adama’s key contacts and customers in Scotland. He will also have commercial responsibility for building its presence in Ireland by working in close alliance with CropLink.
