The end of an era and the start of a new one
As foreshadowed in our last newsletter Ron announced his retirement effective 1st April.
By the time you receive this newsletter Ron will no doubt be enjoying his extended trip up in the Kimberley. For those that want to put it in their phone, Ron’s new personal phone no is 0447 142 884.
Ron’s replacement as Chemvet’s Sales and Marketing Manager is Geoff Grace – shown above receiving the official ‘hand over’ from Ron last week. Geoff has a background seeped in rural and grazing life. He started his working life with a large rural agency in country Victoria. He has run his own beef operation, managed a large feedlot and latterly for the last several years held the position of territory manager for Datamars and Zee Tag.
Geoff’s mobile No is 0407 660 484 and his email is ggrace@chemvet.com.au. Geoff is looking forward to catching up with Tasmanian clients at AGFEST and Northern River Clients at PRIMEX over the coming month.
