James Wilson has joined Humphrey Feeds and Pullets as a Poultry Specialist based in the Welsh Borders. He grew up on a mixed farm in Northampton, where his family farmed beef, sheep and arable, but he spent his weekends and holidays helping out at home and at a friend’s organic laying farm locally; so his future was always going to be agricultural.

James has many years of experience in free range; conventional and organic, including 3 years at Stonegate.

A keen sportsman, James enjoys cricket, rugby and football and is part of the NFU Poultry Industry Programme 2018.

Alison joined us in December 2019 and supports our producers in the mid South West.

Alison has spent much of her career working in poultry, and during that time has built up an extensive knowledge base across a broad range of areas from bird welfare, vaccinations, red-mite and disease control, to field management and optimising productivity.

Alison joins us from St David’s Poultry Team, where she spent 10 years as a Technical Field Advisor. Prior to that Alison was an Area Field Manager with Lloyd Maunder where she managed organic broiler production across 45 sites in the West Country.

Outside of work Alison has a creative streak enjoying up-cycling junk and improving the large garden she has created. When time allows, horse riding, walking and anything involving the countryside, particularly Exmoor, are her pastimes.

University seems a long time ago, but Martin left Newcastle with a degree in Agricultural and Food Marketing. After a stint as an accountant, Martin joined the family business swapping a pin-stripped suit for a shovel, and started work on our broiler farms. He ran a site for nearly a year before moving to work on two laying farms.

Martin then moved to the feeds business which was largely integrated, supplying predominantly company farms and a few friends. Martin's focus was production, raw material purchasing and formulations. He took on the sales activity, developing the team of experienced poultry specialists that are now supporting customers across the south of the UK.

Martin, is now focused on the sales side of the feed business, and more recently has taken on the responsibility of Humphrey Pullets, which he loves, as it takes him back closer to his poultry production routes.

Martin has been co-opted to sit on the NFU Poultry Board and the BFREPA committee.

After completing her apprenticeship in Global Banking & Markets with The Royal Bank of Scotland, Kay started in agriculture in 2009 as a junior trader, and was managing direct to farmer sales of straights and game feeds for a regional agricultural merchant before joining Humphrey Feeds & Pullets as our Procurement and Formulations manager.

Kay is passionate about sharing market information ensuring that customers can make informed decisions when taking cover on their feeds. She is always happy to have discussions direct with customers.

In her free time Kay has two small children, Isla and Jack who keep her busy! Along with her husband Tim, they enjoy spending as much time as possible as a family enjoying the countryside.

George is responsible for the operation and management of our rearing farms, both of our own farms, and contracted farms.

George managed the company’s laying and rearing farms for 12 years, before taking a break to run a Pub! “I was responsible for both free range and barn production systems as well as working on the feed side, which has given me a unique perspective across the business.”

George rejoined the business six years ago, and was responsible for feed and pullet sales in the area north of the M4 and east of Birmingham. As such he has worked closely with a number of customers for several years before he took on his current role, which returns him to his production roots.

George works closely with Charles Macleod as well as the team of Poultry Specialists who cover the south of the UK.
