Chris Bond has been promoted to product manager for the crop nutrition and plant health portfolio.
He joined FMC in 2018 and before his promotion was commercial technical manager for crop nutrition. Mr Bond has vast experience in the crop nutrition sector and is FACTS qualified for several years.
In his new role, Mr Bond will work alongside the FMC commercial and technical teams in the UK and across Europe, helping with knowledge transfer, product planning and marketing.
“The variety of my new role is definitely a highlight, I’ll be able to delve even deeper into the technical aspects of what is happening on-farm, spotting trends and provide the solutions to support this,” he says.
“FMC is continuing to grow its already extensive product pipeline, so I’m looking forward to playing a key role in its development.
“Being a part of new product growth and looking at new ways of using them in the future, is a key motivator for me.
“Working with new colleagues throughout the business and sharing our ideas by transferring knowledge is also incredibly valuable to me and within this role it allows me to build on this,” he says.
Mr Bond is FACTS qualified and has also recently completed the BASIS qualification to broaden his knowledge to help support his role and understand the challenges his customers are facing.
Geoffrey Bastard, Marketing and Plant Health Lead UK and Ireland at FMC, says the team is delighted to support Mr Bond in his new role to bolster the company in such an exciting period of continued growth.
“He is a valuable asset who will strengthen our team now and into the future,” he says.
“He brings a level of technical knowledge and practical experience which will be incredibly valuable in driving FMC’s product portfolio forward and build on the work he has already been a part of within the company.”
