In his first job he worked in the biggest poultry integration company called Brazil Foods - BRF in Brazil, as a poultry health manager for 5 years and then spent 5 years as Global Poultry Vet consultant at Vetworks in Belgium. Since 2017 has been working in different companies and countries, as a Corporate Product Manager for HIPRA in Spain, covering Newcastle disease portfolio vaccines for all continents, in Austria working for phytogenics products for Delacon as a Global Corporate Technical.

Ed has also a Forest School Level 2 certificate as his favourite hobby and has a DBS check.      

Together with Dr Gergana he decided to set up the Pet-Hens-Care Project in Cambridgeshire area to focus on happy and healthy chickens throughout their life cycle. 

Dr Geri Grozeva‘ s working experience over 18 years has given the opportunity to gain a thorough insight into the poultry veterinarian industry. It not only covers clinical aspects but also laboratory procedures of a DEFRA and UKAS accredited laboratory, as well as working for a policy-setting and regulatory body.

Gergana has graduated in the Trakia University Veterinary school in Bulgaria, where she also obtained her post-graduate qualification in Microbiology. In 2013 she obtained her second post-graduate diploma in Poultry Science with a merit grade from the University of Glasgow part of SRUC programme.

She had a major focus on the broiler breeding sector, broilers and commercial egg laying sectors at “Aves-94 JSC” Bulgaria building-up skills in serological, bacteriological and parasitological testing, as well as routine post mortem examinations.

What she finds valuable as a Microbiologist at Slate Hall Veterinary Practice since 2006 is carrying out the necessary diagnostic procedures which makes contribution to the recognition and identification of infectious diseases in poultry. She also participated in internal company investigation trials on ad hoc basis. Following up the understanding of diseases has often allowed effective treatments to be devised or preventative measures to be put in a place.

Having worked as a Science technical assistant in teaching at St Peter’s Sixth Form school since 2016 she has developed a wider range of skills that helps in performing the science practicals for better education.

Her background highly motivates Gergana to pursue the challenges in a dynamic, progressive business atmosphere with a particular interest in poultry.
