Syngenta Crop Protection has announced the appointment of Mark Bullen as speciality crops commercial manager.

Bullen will bring more than 15 years’ experience to the 30-strong Syngenta speciality crops management team.

He will deal primarily with packer/processors for the potato, vegetable and fruit sectors.

Bullen said: “Syngenta has a comprehensive range of crop protection products to enable growers to consistently supply customers with the highest-quality produce, along with some very exciting new additions to be launched in the next two years.

“Understanding the needs of packer/processors and working across the complete supply chain will ensure they are best placed to take advantage of their growers’ capabilities. We will be seeking to identify other opportunities and ventures where our products can help them to deliver for their retail customers on cost, quality and environmental sustainability.”

Bruce McKenzie, Syngenta speciality crops manager, said: “Mark’s appointment to this dynamic and dedicated team gives us an unrivalled understanding of the highly specialised fresh produce supply chain, and the ability to ensure we can best meet their needs.”
