Livestock auctioneers Harrison & Hetherington has announced a key promotion for its business.
Anna McGregor has been promoted to assistant pedigree manager.
In her new role, Anna will oversee the day-to-day running of the pedigree department, including the coordination of sales and the continued development of online pedigree auctions.
She will also support ongoing improvements across the business through customer engagement and industry networking.
Her responsibilities will include working with breed societies, coordinating catalogues and marketing activity, and supporting the smooth delivery of sales from planning through to post sale reporting.
Harrison and Hetherington handles in excess of 800,000 head of livestock each year.
Robin Anderson managing director, said: “This promotion will come as no surprise to anyone who has worked with Anna.
“Over the last decade she has become one of the most respected people in her field.
“Her commitment, work ethic and determination to deliver to the highest standard have earned her the trust of vendors and breed societies alike.
“Anna has also been instrumental in developing one of the largest online livestock sales portfolios across the UK and Ireland, and this new role gives her the opportunity to build on that success while continuing to strengthen our service offering.”
A farmer’s daughter from Roweltown near Longtown, Anna joined Harrison & Hetherington in 2011 as a pedigree assistant.
Since then, she has developed extensive knowledge of the sector and built strong relationships.
Anna said: “I love my job, no two days are ever the same. What stays consistent is our focus as a team to maximise the potential of every animal we sell on behalf of our customers.
“The variety, the people and the relationships we build make it incredibly rewarding. I am looking forward to developing pedigree sales further, both at Borderway and online, and continuing to deliver the highest level of service.”
