International Pheromone Systems has appointed Ian Morris as assistant operations ,anager at the company’s headquarters in Cheshire.
He reports to operations manager Neil Street and is involved in monitoring and controlling products, carrying out audits, procurement and customer service.
Before joining IPS, Mr Morris was the operations manager for a food ingredients company.
He said: “I’ve known the Hartley family for many years. I worked for the founder of IPS David Hartley at a sister company and now it’s great to be working with his son Graeme in this family business.
“Working with insects and pheromones is completely new to me but it’s really fascinating and a whole new world. I’m learning how the IPS team is able to harness nature in our laboratories and develop pesticide-free solutions for monitoring pests. With developments like the Pest Research Hub coming online, it’s a really exciting time to be working for IPS.”
