ADAMA has announced the appointment of Catherine Whaley as its new head of development in the UK as part of its programme of product redevelopment and registration.
The agricultural services provider said Whaley will be taking over the role from Jackie Passey, who will now be a part of ADAMA’s global product development team.
Whaley joins ADAMA from i2L Research where, ADAMA said, she “played a key role in evolving the company into 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”.
Whaley was also involved in developing i2L Research into a leading contract organisation specialising in bio-rational products including bio-insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and molluscicides products, ADAMA said.
Speaking on Whaley’s appointment, ADAMA UK’s managing director Ben Miles said: “We are delighted to welcome Catherine to the UK team 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.”
Whaley has acquired both a bachelor’s degree and a PhD from Staffordshire University.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in environmental science and became a Doctor of Philosophy after acquiring her PhD in molluscicidal research.
Taking to LinkedIn to speak on her appointment to the position of head of development at ADAMA, Whaley said: “I am very much looking forward to the new challenge and getting to work with the ADAMA team.”
Whaley was the head of crop research at i2L Research, a product testing and development centre for the agrochemical, household pesticide, and animal health industries, for over a year from November of 2021 up until this month.
Whaley was also recently made a director at i2L Research.
