Malcolm Totten

Malcolm retired in April 2007 after 38 years with Monaghan Veterinary Laboratory/Agrihealth Limited. During this time he was involved in the development of that company at all levels having originally been employed in 1969 as salesman in a three-person start-up team.

As the business expanded he assumed many roles being appointed sales manager in 1973 and general manager/director in 1977. Over the years he was involved in all facets of the business including hands-on experience in sales and marketing, buying, costing, pricing, transportation, computerisation, property dealings, finance and the preparation of management accounts. In addition he took the lead in the acquisition of two rival companies, the exercise of due diligence and the subsequent reorganization of assets and staff.

During the thirty-eight years spent with the company it developed into one of the largest and most efficient distributors of veterinary medicine on this island. It is also a market leader in the veterinary equipment business both here and in the UK. The technical services division employs four veterinary surgeons backed up by technical lab staff in an INAB approved, state of the art, laboratory facility.

Malcolm was retained by Agrihealth as a consultant during the period 2007 - 2009 and continues to be available to them on request.
