UK-based crop protection specialist Agrovista UK has announced changes to its senior management team.
The firm confirmed that current MD James Robertson will move to the position of group chairman and take on a 'wider role' within the business in order to oversee expansion plans.
Meanwhile, Glenn Aungles, financial director at Agrovista, will be promoted to MD from January 2013.
Speaking on Aungles' appointment, Robertson said: “I am delighted that Glenn is our new managing director, his experience in all aspects of business outside agriculture will be invaluable.
'Since joining our business over two years ago, he has very quickly grasped the key challenges that face our industry over the next few years.'
