Appointment “marks a next significant milestone for our family business.”
Sarah Mitchinson has joined the board at Westgate Labs as she becomes operations director.
Sarah has been with the postal worm egg count company for more than five years, and was promoted from office manager.
In a separate move at Westgate Labs, operations director Kristy Hodgson becomes business director. Claire Shand remains as marketing director.
“The aim is to ensure a strong leadership team to oversee the company's continued growth,” said Claire.
“These adjustments allow founder and director David Booth to enjoy a more advisory position alongside his wife and co-founder, Gillian Booth, as non-executive directors for Westgate.”
David said he was “delighted to welcome Sarah to our board of directors. Her appointment marks a next significant milestone for our family business as we continue to grow and innovate within the equine health sector."
Sarah said she is “looking forward to developing our operations further and ensuring that we continue to deliver the highest level of service to horse owners, vets and professionals across the UK."
Northumberland based Westgate Labs, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, now employs 15 people.
It says 2024 was its busiest year to date with record numbers of samples tested and horse owners supported with their parasite control.
