The Directors at UK Sire
Services are rightly proud of their team at the stud, being the
very best in the industry. They are headed up
by Andrew
Champion as Manager who is also Head of Laboratory. Andrew was with
Somerset Cattle Breeding Centre for many years.
|
We are also delighted
to have on
board two other former SCBC stalwarts, Gaynor Cumming and her husband
Ian Cumming, who maintain our vigorous veterinary standards and “herd” health.
Assisting Andrew in the lab, and Gaynor and Ian with their diaries and
work schedule is Hilary Langley, the bright and cheery voice that you
will often hear on the phone when you call. Out in the yard as stockmen
we have another former Somerset CBC man Kevin Summers and Peter Booth,
or “Mr Jersey” as we like to call him after his great influence
within the breed over the years. Kevin and his young family live on
site to give us 24 hour cover in case of any emergency. Keeping us all
on our
toes as Book-Keeper is Anne Walter-Symons, who works on a part time
basis. Gaynor and Ian’s responsibilities do not end at ensuring
animal health and semen quality control; she oversees the hugely important
bio-security
on the stud and at the store at an industrial estate 12 miles from the
stud. This is Tim Brook’s domain! Tim is Store Manager and he
is kept very busy overseeing all transfers and storage of semen. As
the company
has grown, so have our export sales and Tim is kept very busy coordinating,
packing and shipping orders all around the world. With such an increased
workload, we have been very fortunate to welcome back as Tim’s
assistant Wendy Wade, who was formerly Lab Assistant. Finally, our “man
in the field” is the ever popular and vastly experienced Nigel
Clymow, who you will see straw hat on head and shepherds crook in hand
at many
of the shows and sales across the southern half of the country. The
team covers all bases and is always pleased to try and help our clients
with
their particular requests.
