Hamish Wiig Appointed Non-Executive Director of Goodnature and Farmote

Gallagher Animal Management is pleased to announce the appointment of Hamish Wiig as a Non-Executive Director to the Boards of Goodnature and Farmote Technologies, two pioneering companies at the forefront of sustainable, technology-driven agriculture. Lisbeth Jacobs, who has been on the Goodnature board since 2022, will be stepping down from her post to take up a leadership role in Europe closer to family.

Hamish brings over 20 years of international leadership experience across telecommunications, food and beverage, and agriculture; and is a passionate advocate for sustainable practices. Since joining Gallagher as General Manager for LATAM, Asia, the Middle East and Africa, he has successfully driven the company’s expansion into high-growth emerging markets across the globe. His achievements include forging strategic distribution partnerships and establishing Gallagher’s new office in Brazil.

With his global perspective, multilingual expertise, and proven ability to scale businesses, Hamish is ideally placed to contribute to the growth and governance of both Goodnature and Farmote.

“I’m thrilled to be joining the Boards of Goodnature and Farmote. Both companies bring something unique to Gallagher’s vision for smarter, more sustainable farming — Goodnature as a global leader in humane pest control, and Farmote with its breakthrough pasture monitoring technology. I’m looking forward to working with their teams to help unlock opportunities and take both businesses to the next level,” said Hamish Wiig.

Dave Shoemack, Goodnature CEO comments:

“Lisbeth has been an incredible asset to our board over the past 3 years, and a true believer in the mission and potential of Goodnature. At the same time, we're delighted to have Hamish picking up where Lisbeth left off, and confident that his passion for sustainability and experience scaling companies globally will be a valuable addition to our advisory team. I'm particularly excited about the hard-won insights Hamish will be able to bring regarding markets where we have significant growth opportunities throughout Latin America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia”.

Goodnature: Humane Pest Control at Scale

Hamish’s appointment reinforces Gallagher’s commitment to maintaining strong connections with Goodnature as the company continues its global growth. Goodnature is already recognised as a world leader in non-toxic, humane pest control and is well-positioned for further international expansion.

Farmote: Breakthrough Pasture Monitoring

Farmote Technologies, a joint venture between Gallagher and Barenbrug launched last year, is redefining pasture monitoring with cutting-edge sensor and satellite technology. Its integration into Gallagher’s ecosystem, alongside innovations such as eShepherd, remote in-paddock weighing, and liquid monitoring, will enable farmers to embrace holistic, data-driven precision farming.

Both Goodnature and Farmote embody the Gallagher Animal Management vision: helping farmers work in more responsible, productive, and profitable ways through technology.
