Joe joins Agrovista to lead glasshouse team

Nottingham-based Agrovista has appointed Joe Shepherdson as glasshouse team manager to help build the company’s position in the protected horticulture sector.

He joins Agrovista from within the industry, backed by eight years’ experience in glasshouse horticulture sales and a further six working for a vegetable breeder, firstly in the UK specialising in cucumbers and hydroponic lettuce, then as product manager for cucumber varieties in Western Europe.

Joe said: “Over the years I have built a passion for the industry – I like the way the horticulture sector works, dealing with down-to-earth people on a face-to-face basis.

“I’ve known of Agrovista for years – it is well set up and has built an excellent reputation, which makes it a very attractive place to work. The new role has brought me back to the UK market, which I had started to miss, and gives me more responsibility at management level, whilst being back on the front line with growers. I look forward working with the team and making the most of the opportunities as we move ahead.”

Mike Bannister, head of glasshouse horticulture said: “Joe has been a welcome addition to the team and is already working alongside me to provide valuable managerial support in all aspects of the business. “Joe brings a wealth of experience and a fresh approach to the business as we continue to strengthen our position in the industry.”
