The member services team at Anglia Farmers has been given a major boost with the appointment of Ashley Gilman as member business manager.
In this role, he will work at Anglia Farmers alongside business development manager David Moar, co-ordinating the team and ensuring the needs of the purchasing group’s 1900 members are met.
Most recently he was farms and operations director for Maurice Crouch (Growers) Limited - a 2,500-hectare salad, brassica, bulb and flower producer.
Gilman said: “The days of small purchasing groups are over - they do not have enough clout. As Anglia Farmers continues to grow it is important that members do not feel they are just one within a large co-operative. We need to ensure their business is individually looked after and that we achieve excellent value for money and excellent service levels at all times."
