UFAC-UK appoints Richard Lapthorne as part of exciting development plans

“During my time at Cogent I increased the customer base in the north of England by working closely with customers, listening to their objectives and aiding them to achieve the best results for their business,” says Richard, stating he plans to bring this same drive to his new role.

Richard joins UFAC-UK as it continues to implement an ambitious development plan that is redefining its position at the forefront of the animal feed sector, delivering proven product performance, advice and values, predominantly to the benefit of the livestock farmer.

The recruitment of Richard is part of this wider corporate-wide drive, incorporating new product development, more trials and research projects and exciting mill upgrades that are improving efficiencies, sustainability and environmental credentials.

A family-owned business, UFAC-UK manufactures specialist energy, protein and omega 3 supplements from its dedicated manufacturing plant in Rutland, with particular expertise in the use of oils, fats, amino acids and liquid sugars.

Richard says, “I very much buy into the client-focussed approach and ambitious development plans at UFAC-UK, and look forward to helping to drive brand awareness amongst and alongside our merchant and trade partners, while developing and enhancing these relationships.”

Married with two daughters, Richard enjoys motorcycling and cycling in his spare time. He is also an active member of Masham snooker club, the oldest snooker club in the world.

“I look forward to being part of the corporate drive to position UFAC-UK at the forefront of the agriculture sector, raising awareness of our unique range of nutritional supplements to the animal feed industry,” he concludes.
