Virbac appoints new regional manager

Virbac has announced the appointment of Ben Riddle as its new territory manager for Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Oxfordshire, reporting to regional sales manager Nic Chapman.

He joins the company from fellow animal health company Elanco – where he was employed as a key account manager – and is fully qualified with the National Office of Animal Health.

In his new position, he will be responsible for developing relationships with veterinary practices across his designated region and will play a key role in building sales of Virbac's small animal products.

Mr Riddle said: "I'm looking forward to working closely with practices across my region and encouraging them to try Virbac's wide small animal product range.”

Virbac is the largest independent veterinary pharmaceutical company in the world and was founded in 1968 in France by animal health professional Pierre-Richard Dick.

The firm employs more than 2,900 people across the world and operates in more than 100 countries across the world.
