NRM appoints Sultan Khan as new Business Development Manager

Sultan Khan joined NRM as its new Business Development Manager on Monday 12^th August 2024 to strengthen its environmental commercial team. He will be responsible for growing the business’ commercial expertise in environmental testing for the land-based industries, helping the team identify new opportunities, develop new services, and form and nurture relationships with customers.

‘The environmental side of the business has seen substantial growth in recent years,’ said Sophie Cath, Senior Business Development Manager at NRM. ‘This boom in requests for environmental testing has been driven by factors such as government targets to decarbonise the heat network in the UK, increasing legislation, and pressure from the agricultural industry to adopt and maintain sustainable farming practices. Sultan’s appointment will help bolster our relationships with customers, promoting the benefits of environmental testing and adding revenue to balance out other more seasonal services.’

Sultan has a BSc in Chemistry from Bradford University and a wealth of experience in business development across a variety of industries, including Eurofins UK Consumer Product Testing Services Ltd. Sultan’s chemistry background and passion for the technical side of environmental testing will provide customers with the technical and proactive support required to help them make informed decisions and meet their goals.

‘I am really looking forward to getting stuck in at NRM and sinking my teeth into a scientific commercial role,’ said Sultan. ‘Anaerobic digestion (AD) analysis is a big part of the environmental testing NRM provides, and as it’s such a technical service, taking the reins on improving the service and promoting its benefits to customers ticked every box for me. I am excited about being part of the team and helping farmers and other players in the land-based industries support sustainable practices, maximise revenue, and adhere to legislation.’
