Job Titles:

"I have been with the organization since December 2015 when St Francis Group, of which I was Managing Director, was acquired by MWI Animal Health.
What I enjoy about working for MWI Animal Health is working with a very knowledgeable, supportive and committed team - who also happen to be nice people! I am motivated by the challenge of making a difference for our customers, my associates and our business in such a rapidly changing and challenging industry.
I enjoy all outdoor pursuits and sports, some of which, such as cricket, I still play at a laughably low standard. Three children keep my wife and I happily busy with various hobbies and activities. The rest of our time is spent trying to control the chaos of our three Jack Russell Terriers."
