Our people - committed to working towards a better future

“I did my Bachelor's degree in Marine and Antarctic Science, majoring in Marine Ecology. As part of my university program, I had the opportunity to visit Skretting Australia in my first year. I was really impressed by their expertise in nutrition and their overall professionalism. At that time, I was gearing up for a PhD project on Atlantic Salmon performance. When I saw that Skretting was hiring a Nutrition Officer, I couldn’t let this opportunity pass me by. After a few interviews with the Product Performance team members, I was convinced that Skretting was the ideal environment to contribute to the aquaculture industry and make a difference in our changing world. Skretting’s commitment to advancing knowledge in animal nutrition, research and development, and the aquaculture industry in general resonated strongly with my professional goals. 

I joined Skretting in August 2022 and have since had the privilege of learning from a team of highly knowledgeable and experienced professionals. In my day to day work, I am part of the marketing team, and I support the formulator with daily adjustments and undertake exercises and tasks relating to our Integrated Business Planning cycle. I have also managed a successful nutritional monitoring programme, which I am now working with our other operating companies to implement. The resources provided by Nutreco and the collaborative network across local and global teams have been invaluable, fostering a culture of sharing knowledge and providing solutions. Additionally, the Skretting Aquaculture Innovation group hosts an elite team of researchers to focus on the sciences behind our practical approaches. 

 I am grateful to be part of a team that builds on 125 years of dedicated work and look forward to contributing to the continued success and innovation in nutrition and the aquaculture industry. "

"As it is compulsory for all graduates in Nigeria to undertake the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC), I was posted to Ibadan which is about 600km from home. It was in Ibadan that I heard about Skretting Nigeria from a friend, and after a bit of research about the organisation, I immediately fell in love with the idea of working here. Some months after NYSC, I applied for the role of Customer Service Representative and got the job.  

My passion for what Skretting does stems from my interest in aquaculture. I grew up in the Niger-Delta riverine area of Nigeria where there are unregulated and unsustainable fishing practices which are detrimental to life below water. I believe aquaculture is one of the ways to solve this problem. After 2 years of working here, I am proud of how Skretting champions sustainability, innovation and solutions that would in the long run improve the way fish is farmed not only in my community, but the whole of Nigeria.  

I appreciate the company’s investment in creating a healthy work environment; this has helped me grow in my role. A major highlight of my work as a Customer Service Representative is that I get to interact with customers and hear their feedback about our products.  

Happy 125th Year Anniversary, Skretting. "

“ I specialised in Food Microbiology, Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP), Food Safety, and Quality Control during both my Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes. 

My interest in the feed industry was sparked during my academic years when I was introduced to “Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP).” I kept an eye out for opportunities in the aquaculture industry, but I never imagined that one day I would receive a call from Skretting! Working here is a fascinating experience because it amazes me how different fish species have unique diets and how something like just the buoyancy of the feed plays a big factor in terms of quality. On top of that, I love how cooperative all the departments are, they truly have shown me what effective communication between teams should look like! 

What motivates me to wake up every day is the ever-changing nature of our work. Every day presents new challenges, allowing me to learn, grow, and express my work ethic. Although I haven't been at Skretting for long, I genuinely see myself growing and staying here for many years to come. 

Being part of Skretting's 125-year heritage is a source of great satisfaction and I am grateful to be a part of it. I'm enthusiastic about the achievements that lie ahead in our continuing story! Congratulations and Happy Birthday to Skretting!”
