Eville & Jones acquires Vorenta
“Vorenta and E&J are natural partners with shared ambitions and values" - Charles Hartwell, group CEO.
The deal is set to broaden the group's range of service offerings. 

Veterinary controls provider Eville & Jones has completed its acquisition of the Vorenta Group, which includes HallMark Veterinary and Compliance Services, and Meat and Livestock Commercial Services Ltd (MLCSL).

In an announcement on its website, Eville & Jones said the acquisition will 'accelerate E&Js growth, expanding operations into Scotland, building on its existing service offerings, and broadening its range of service offerings for both existing and new customers.'

The update stressed that customers will not see any changes to the day-to-day service but will benefit from an increase in the array of services offered.

Charles Hartwell, group CEO, said: “Vorenta and E&J are natural partners with shared ambitions and values. This merger accelerates our growth plans and enables us to expand our service offering to both our existing and future customers whilst providing opportunities for our people".

David Peace, chair of Vorenta, said: “Both E&J and Vorenta have built a reputation for delivering quality, value-adding solutions to the food industry. As part of the expanded E&J group, we will be able to focus our resources to reach and serve more customers and give our people a wider spectrum of opportunity. I very much look forward to joining the E&J Board, in addition to continuing as the Managing Director of MLCSL”.

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
