Agriculture graduates in demand to drive export sales growth

AGRICULTURE graduates will be in big demand to help drive the export sales growth ambitions of mixer wagon and animal feed manufacturer Richard Keenan & Co Ltd, Borris, Co Carlow.

Ideally, new recruits should have a third-level Agri qualification, a good understanding of ruminant nutrition and the TMR system. Trainee managers and nutritionists are mentored by a senior manager and if successful are allocated their own territory in an export market in due course.

Keenan recently appointed Niall McGauran as global sales director to recruit and train in new Ag graduates for its sales force. He is already mentoring a growing team, building new sales channels and exploring market segmentation opportunities.
