Ben Bartlett

Ben studied Agricultural Economics at Reading University before joining DEFRA as an Economist. From there Ben took a position as an industry consultant for the Meat and Livestock Commission (now part of AHDB). Ben joined NMR’s marketing department in 1997 before taking a role in corporate account management, building strategic relationships within the dairy supply chain, including leading retailers, processors and vet practices. This led to Ben handling the strategic development of NMR’s payment testing business which centres on testing ex farm bulk milk samples to confirm the quality credentials of ex farm milk which then contributes to the processor calculation of the milk cheque for the farmer.

Ben was central to establishing the iML joint venture through engagement with the Irish dairy industry and, in particular, Lakeland Dairies which is the cornerstone client for iML. Ben sits on the iML board contributing to the strategic development of this business. Ben is now the Sales and Marketing Director for NMR looking after all NMR revenue streams both pre and post farm gate. Ben’s focus is on ensuring that all NMR clients gain full value from the information received from NMR – delivering on the business’s commitment to ‘decoding milk data, building robust insights’.
