“I have known Connolly’s RED MILLS since 1990 and have always seen them as real innovators and leaders in an industry that can sometimes be static and resistant to change. The culture of innovation and constant efforts to raise standards makes it a very exciting place to work. With the fifth generation of the Connolly family taking over the management of the business, there is a great sense of continuing the 115-year-old Connolly tradition, yet pushing forward with science-based discoveries that improve animal health and performance.”
