23/08/12: Aunir moves house; Cargill Annual report; UK harvest photo

Hello,
  • Aunir has announced its company expansion plans, which includes moving to bigger premises and recruiting Dr Trevor Theobald as its Commercial Director.
After 25 years of experience with a number of other Associated British Food companies – including, most recently, AB Agri – Trevor will join Aunir on September 1, 2012. Dr Trevor Theobald said: “I am delighted to be joining Aunir at such an exciting time in its history. It is a company that facilitates a great diversity of work, as NIR can be applied to so many different markets. As Commercial Director I hope to build on Aunir’s excellent reputation for delivering support and additional value to customers worldwide.”
Also in September, the leading developer and supplier of software for near infrared reflectance (NIR) spectroscopy will swap its current office for a 50% larger building in the same Pury Hill business park, near Alderton, Northamptonshire. With a dedicated technical area, Aunir’s new premises will allow the company to deal more effectively with the ever-increasing number of samples that it receives for NIR analysis. More space will also help Aunir increase the level of customer service it can offer.  More information...

  • UK exports get off to flying start as Gleadell loads wheat barley, pulses and oilseed rape out six ports in the first half of August.
“We have got off to a flying start with our export campaign this season,” says Jonathan Lane, Gleadell’s Trading Manager. “We have already shipped wheat, barley, pulses and oilseed rape out of our Immingham and Great Yarmouth facilities as well as from Kings Lynn, Rye, Southampton and Avonmouth - and that is just in the first half of August.
“Our quick-off-the-mark oilseed rape exports have been particularly good news for farmer customers as they give an alternative to UK crushers as a harvest-time outlet. For example, in the last week alone, we have shipped rapeseed out of Immingham, Avonmouth and Great Yarmouth.
