New Head of Development for ADAMA UK

As part of ADAMA’s continued programme of product development and registration in the UK, Catherine Whaley has been appointed to the role of Head of Development UK following the promotion of the role’s previous incumbent, Jackie Passey, to ADAMA’s Global Product Development team.

Catherine joins ADAMA from i2L Research where she played a key role in evolving 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.

Catherine was also involved in developing i2L into a leading contract research organisation specialising in bio-rational products including bio-insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and molluscicides products.

“We are delighted to welcome Catherine to the UK team,” explains ADAMA UK’s Managing Director, Ben Miles, “and 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.”
