Two new hires at MSD Animal Health

Ciaran spent almost nine years at dairy machinery manufacturer Dairymaster, where he held the position of regional sales manager for Cork, Waterford and Wexford. He replaces Billy Heffernan as on-farm sales rep for the south Munster territory and will cover Kerry, Cork, Limerick and Clare. Ciaran has farming in his blood and is the fifth-generation of his family to farm in Innishannon, Co. Cork where he farms a dairy herd and calf-to-beef system in partnership with his father. Ciaran studied a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture at MTU (then CIT) and graduated in 2013.
Simon replaces Ciara Phelan as the new on-farm sales rep for MSD Animal Health in the southeast, covering Tipperary, Waterford, Kilkenny, Carlow, Wexford, Wicklow, Kildare and Laois. Hailing from Cashel in Co. Tipperary, Simon grew up on a dairy farm and in recent years has joined a family farming partnership with his uncle, Eamon and father, Richard. Simon studied at SETU Waterford and graduated with a Bachelor Honours degree in agricultural science in 2018.
Simon began his working career as a graduate trainee manager at Dawn Meats, before joining Grassland Agro later that year in a sales role.
