Equine Nutritionist

Closing Date for Applicants:
Monday 27th February 2023

Allen & Page was established as a limited company in 1936, but the Page family had been producing and selling horse feeds for many years. Originally based at the mill at Quayside, Norwich, the company quickly became renowned across East Anglia for the high-quality feed it produced.

Allen & Page strives to constantly innovate and improve, and part of that process involved moving the business to its current state of the art mill in Shipdham, Norfolk. The new mill provided the company with the technology to produce feeds that were more wholesome and environmentally friendly than the market standard, an ethos that continues to this day. More than two decades ago Allen & Page gained the accreditation of many major food production and quality control bodies, including the Vegetarian Society, Soil Association and ISO organisations. This set a standard for the company to continue working closely with these bodies to ensure the highest quality feed is produced.
Still a family business, Allen & Page has developed and grown, with over four generations of experience helping to build the business into the national feed producer it is today. In 2009, Allen & Page was delighted to receive a Royal Warrant from HRH The Prince of Wales. Looking to the future, Allen & Page is always investigating new ways to improve and innovate; drawing on the experience and knowledge gained from almost a century of making horse feed.

Having launched ‘L’ Mix in 1995 as a feed suitable for those prone to laminitis, we have continued to be at the forefront of equine feeds. Being the first company to launch low starch and low sugar feeds (which now forms part of the Barley & Molasses Free Range) we have always formulated premium feeds. We continue to innovate and improve our products whilst focusing on using natural ingredients wherever possible in the most environmentally friendly way we can.

Due to our continued expansion and growth, we are looking for an experienced and proactive Equine Nutritionist.  This is an exciting opportunity working in a junior role as a key member of our Nutritional Team.

The role involves giving equine nutritional advice over the phone and via email, and the administration involved in providing that advice. 

In addition to equine knowledge and experience, we are also looking for someone who can give nutritional advice for smallholder animals such as poultry, pigs, sheep, goats and cattle.  This is an integral position with the opportunity for growth.
