Grainseed are pleased to announce that Lucy Smith-Reeve is joining the team as Seed sales specialist.

Graduating from Reading University in 1999-2001 with a BSc (Hons) in Rural Resource Management, she explains that the course was split between the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Agricultural Economics and included modules from the Department of Land Management also.

After graduating she took up a couple of short-term positions to expand her experience – both seed related.

In early 2002 she started working for Limagrain UK as a Wheat Breeding Technician and then progressed to Wheat Breeder.

For Grainseed Lucy will be dealing with local farmers in East Anglia, mainly in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex.

She will specialise in maize and oilseed rape seed sales as well as the range of Horizon products from grass and environmental mixes to clamp covers and additives.

Kevin Jordan, Managing Director of Grainseed says he is delighted that Lucy is joining the company and is confident that she will add significantly to the company’s presence on farm.

"Her university and subsequent work with Limagrain will mean that she brings good ideas, relevant expertise and experience plus knowledge of the seed trade with her and we are really pleased she is joining our team."
