I have been employed by O'Kanes for 15 years.

My role within the company is always varied and involves regularly meeting new people, which is great.

The highlight is seeing new products on shelf, which you have been involved with from the initial product brief.

I have been with O'Kanes for the past 14 years, over the years I have progressed through the agricultural ranks. I enjoyed my time out and about with the farmers, getting to know the families behind the scenes and helping new growers get off to a secure start.

I moved to my current role 2 years ago and have brought all the knowledge of Broiler Production to the Factory. I enjoy liaising between the Factory, Farmers, Feed Mill and Hatcheries and Transport keeping them all happy is not easy.

My role as a technical manager is challenging every day, it feel like the days are never long enough...
