Alistair Zealey resignation

I regret to announce that Alistair Zealey has formally resigned from the TRI BRF and his final official day was yesterday. Although we are very sad to see him go, we wish Alistair the very best with the next chapter of his life. I personally would like to thank Alistair for his dedication towards both our animals and the people working here through his time here – many of us have benefited from his knowledge and passion. Alistair would like to pass on a simple message of good bye and good luck and has provided his personal email address for anyone wishing to get in touch - [email protected].
