Award winning animal health company Farm Medix is splitting into two businesses.
The company’s two founding directors Natasha Maguire and Leon Spurrell will head each business unit.
In a joint statement Maguire and Spurrell said the split was amicable.
“In the last few years, we have successfully created solutions that solve many issues regarding animal health and milk production,” the statement says.
“The division of Farm Medix creates two strong value engines that are now ready to pursue their own distinctive strategic directions.”
Farm Medix sells a range of products for mastitis diagnostics, water purification, antibiotic reduction, milk quality forensics and hoof health.
The company has won many science, innovation and business awards. In 2019 it won the Kudos food and agricultural science award.
The statement says that each portfolio is developed and ready for each to go down its own strategic path.
Maguire’s company will take the Farm Medix name, and the other yet to be named, will be run by Spurrell.
“The split, once finalised will mean the critical research and development work already undertaken successfully by both directors can be commercialised and scaled to assist farmers around the world.”
