What was your career journey into this role?
I studied Agriculture at SRUC Ayr in 2015 and graduated with an honours degree. I then started a Graduate position at Galloway & Macleod, an animal feed business, as a Sales Nutritionist. In my role I was able to travel across Dumfries, North and East Ayrshire as well as Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire, during which, I sold a variety of products including feed and fertiliser as well as working on feed formulations and preparing rations for customers.
Why did you come to work at SAC Consulting?
Consultancy is always something I have been interested in. After five and a half years of travelling up and down farm roads hoping to help people, I wanted to move to a job where that was the number one focus, so I joined SAC Consulting in May of 2025. I really enjoy doing work that benefits clients and makes a positive change to their workload.
If you could do anyone else’s job here, who would it be, what is their role and why?
Probably Lorna McPherson, Dairy Consultant. I have always had a keen interest in dairy, and it would be great to have that level of industry knowledge.
What work (in your current role) are you most proud of and why?
As a newbie I am still finding my feet, but I have really been enjoying nutrient budgets. It is a great thing to learn and be good at as it's going to be a requirement for all farms in 2028.
If you had one wish, to be used to better the industry, what would you wish for?
A working crystal ball would be a lovely addition to the office. That way, when we are advising clients on what the future holds, we can give them all the information.
