North American business with effect 2 February 2004.
Mark joined the Company in November 1995, having previously
worked for Samuel Yates, Shell Research Ltd and East Malling

North America and Mexico. He will be tasked with developing and
expanding the Group’s horticultural activities throughout North
America and Mexico.
Commenting on the announcement, Mark Wilson, Commercial
Director, said, “I am delighted to be able to make this
appointment. Mark Butler has already made an important
contribution to the ongoing success of our UK operation and his
knowledge of the horticultural sector and global seed industry
will allow him to quickly establish himself in this new role.
He will work alongside our experienced team in Gilroy,
California and join with the rest of our North American Sales
Group in providing new contacts and expertise”. Mark Wilson
went on to say that “Demand for
our
custom coating services, priming products and organic
range is strong and Mark Butler’s appointment will allow us to
maintain and extend contact with our growing customer base, not
only in California, but throughout North and Central America”.
