Management changes at UK Sires

We are pleased to announce the following changes to the management team at UK Sires.

 

After forming the company in 2002 Rob Wills has decided to retire from his position as an Executive Director at UK Sires. Rob, with his passion and commitment, has been the driving force behind the success and growth of UK Sires over the past 22 years and will be missed. We thank him for his tireless and dedicated service and wish him and his wife Sue a happy retirement.

 

Steve Oultram will continue as a director but will take a lesser role in the day-to-day running of the business. Steve has been a practical and assured presence on the UK Sires board for many years and will assist in the transition to a new management team.

These are new and exciting times at UK Sires and as part the response to the challenges that lie ahead a new Management Team has been appointed. This consists of:
