PRESS RELEASE
International Pheromone Systems has appointed Ian Morris as Assistant Operations Manager at the company’s headquarters in Cheshire.
Ian, from Wirral, reports to Operations Manager Neil Street and is involved in monitoring and controlling products, carrying out audits, procurement and customer service.
Before joining IPS, Ian was the Operations Manager for a food ingredients company.
Ian explains: “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 on line, it’s a really exciting time to be working for IPS."
He continues, “It’s also very rewarding knowing that the work we are doing will lead to a healthier planet with fewer pesticides in the environment and the foodchain. As a scout leader I spend a lot of time outdoors and doing something to help nature is extremely important to me.”
Ian has been a scout leader (2nd Bebington Scouts) for the last 10 years. He enjoys dog walking, camping and canoeing.
