Toni Dixon, Product Manager Performance Products

Tell us a little bit about your career so far?

Before working in agriculture, I worked in travel for 10 years for a private wholesale tour operator developing skills which were easily transferable to this industry. I then worked for another feed provider for six years as an office- based account manager before joining ForFarmers.

What does your role involve?

My role involves looking after many of the products which arrive on-farm on a pallet including anything from lump rock salt to mycotoxin binders. This high quality range of supplements can supply nutritional benefits or correct specific herd health problems.

What do you like about working with livestock farmers?

Each day is completely different. With the performance range we offer, I get to learn a little about a lot and chat to some very interesting characters, build relationships and develop my problem solving skills.

How have you continued to develop your career?

Embarking upon this role has provided a great opportunity to expand my knowledge base and introduced me to a network of contacts who share the same goals as us and also have health and performance interests of the animal at heart.
