Teagasc has appointed Tim Ashmore as the new principal for its agricultural and horticulture college in Kildalton, Pilltown, Co Kilkenny. He takes over from Paul Hennessy who is retiring.
Ashmore has been promoted from his previous position as assistant principal, which he held for the past six years. He previously worked for Teagasc as teacher and lecturer, tillage specialist and as an agricultural advisor.
Green Cert
A part-time tillage farmer in Co Kildare, Ashmore holds an honours degree in agricultural science from University of Plymouth's Seale Hayne faculty, a graduate diploma in business in farm financial management from Waterford Institute of Technology and an MBS in business practice from the Irish Management Institute.
"The integration of the revised level 5 and 6 certificate in agriculture programmes is an exciting challenge and is a priority for me," Ashmore said in relation to integrating the new Green Cert into the college's programme.
