Sciantec has appointed Dr Sophie Prentice as its new Technical Sales Manager to strengthen its commercial team. She will be responsible for helping customers maintain compliance and meet their goals by developing novel services, running new innovations, and nurturing key accounts, all through an expert technical perspective.

‘Customers are increasingly looking for technical support and deeper insight into results alongside their analysis,’ said Sean Stevenson, Divisional Commercial Director of Cawood Agriculture. ‘Sophie’s background in animal nutrition and technical innovation strengthens the expertise of our commercial team, enabling us to deepen our relationships with our customers in the animal feed and health industries and provide a broader, more valuable service.’

Sophie has extensive technical expertise in animal nutrition, health and productivity across the feed sector. With a PhD in poultry nutrition and health, she is a strong monogastric professional and managed a diverse portfolio of feed additives at Trouw Nutrition. Sophie has spent the last few years at AB Agri, where she developed and embedded best practice project management techniques in the animal feed and agri-food sectors as Innovation Programme Manager.

‘Joining Sciantec and taking the next step in my career in animal nutrition and welfare is very exciting,’ said Sophie. ‘My career has been about improving animal health and welfare without sacrificing sustainability by developing and managing a variety of products and projects, and Sciantec is the perfect place to further progress my goals. I am really looking forward to working with the rest of the team to support customers all over the country.’
