PelGar International announced Sandy MacKay as the new head of its technical department, taking over the technical lead from company Co-founder and Director Dr. Jonathan Wade.
A toxicologist, MacKay brings almost 30 years of experience in research and product development to the business and has joined PelGar from Wickham Laboratories, where he was head of the toxicology department. He will be responsible for PelGar’s insecticide formulation development laboratory at its Telford site in Shropshire, England and the Church Farm animal behavior research and training facility in Hampshire, where much of PelGar’s rodenticide and insecticide efficacy work is carried out. Together the team under Sandy will be responsible for PelGar’s scientific formulation development, analysis and testing before products can be registered and finally launched for sale.
Dr. Gareth Capel-Williams commented, “Jonathan has a well-earned reputation in the pest control industry as an application technology expert, pest control expert and an astute product developer; the success of PelGar is a tribute to our collaboration and he will be sorely missed. They are big shoes to fill, but with Sandy’s expertise at the helm of the technical team, we look forward to building upon past success as we take the company in to a new era.”
