Glenn Bushell has more than 20 years’ experience of the global poultry industry and has worked in various production management and technical support positions with major poultry businesses in Africa.

Reporting directly to Aviagen Regional Commercial & Technical Manager Europe, Alan Thomson, Mr Bushell and Mr Thomson will join Lindsay Broadbent in the existing team and will provide on-the-ground technical support to customers and coordinate technical specialist inputs. They will also focus on data-analysing and benchmarking, providing feed-back on product performance to customers and into the Aviagen R&D programme.
Alan Thomson said: “I am delighted to welcome Stuart and Glenn to the team. They bring a combined experience of over 30 years to their roles and their appointments will help us support our UK customer-base in particular but also our customers and Aviagen colleagues in Europe. Our team continues to strengthen and it remains my objective that this translates into more visibility, quality and availability of technical support to our customers."
