MacQuillan has extensive experience in procurement, technology and engineering, and has lived and worked in Russia, Europe and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Most recently, she was responsible for manufacturing, engineering and logistics for the Global Petcare business, a US$15 billion business for Mars.

Sandra brings a wealth of global experience to this new position on our senior team. I’m confident that she will help us improve the value we can deliver from a truly world class supply chain operation.”
