Certis makes new appointment

Certis has appointed James Kennedy to the new position of key account manager, supporting arable and potato sector accounts.

The role has been created by the Amesbury-based crop protection specialist to reflect the company’s expansion, continued growth and increasing product portfolio in the arable sector.

Kennedy joins the firm from DuPont, where he worked for eight years in trials and then in account management after graduating with a plant science degree from the University of Nottingham.

He will bring experience and a depth of knowledge to the sales team and will be working primarily with a number of large national distributors.
