Calum McCall and Robert Harvie have joined the Origin Fertilisers’ team to cover the northern England and south-west Scotland areas.

Calum, with a wealth of experience spanning more than a decade at Tarff Valley and two years at Carr’s Billington, has assumed the role of retail technical support for south-west Scotland.

He said: “Through my previous jobs, I spent a lot of time talking to farmers and understanding their issues, and I believe increasing fertiliser efficiency is a key focus for many in the future. There is more interest regarding enhanced fertilisers, rather than applying the same as previous seasons, and Origin’s range of prescription nutrition is ideal for this.”

Joining the team alongside Calum is Robert Harvie who assumes the role of area sales representative, covering Lanarkshire and neighbouring regions. With a background in a beef and sheep farm in Coalburn, Lanarkshire, Robert has previous experience selling animal health products for a local agricultural supplier.

“I’m driven to challenge myself and deepen my understanding of fertilisers to better serve farmers in the region,” he said. “My goal is to forge strong relationships with both existing and new customers, collaborating with the Origin team to meet crop requirements effectively.”
