Stock Controller

Our Business Support & Administration department looks after the general accounts, administration, chemicals, consumables and parts orders for the Lely Center. Our office is open from 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
"I really enjoying meeting customers and sharing stories of how their Lely robots can improve herd health, happiness and productivity."
I joined Lely Center Holsworthy as a Marketing Specialist in January 2021. My job has evolved into a diverse managament role, which includes full HR responsibilities for the center, as well as organising staff and customer events and implementing the annual marketing strategy. I'm happiest when out on farm with our customers and most of you will have seen me on a farm somewhere in our region, notepad and camera in hand!
Prior to joining Lely Center Holsworthy, I worked as Head of Marketing for a large educational College in Somerset and more recently as the Marketing & Operations Manager at a dairy farm in South Devon.
"I love my job; I really feel that I'm working to support British Farming"
Louisa started her accountancy career at the age of 18 and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2004.
Joining Lely in 2022, Louisa is the Group Finance Manager responsible for all aspects of finance and leading a team of accounts administrators across both Lely Center Holaworthy and Lely Center Yeovil.
"I chose to work for Lely Center Holsworthy as I believe agricultural automation is the way forward and the Lely brand is not only very well-known but is also ever evolving."
I work in accounts at Lely Center Holsworthy. Many of you will have spoken to me when you have an accounts query as I have been the voice on the end of the phone since 2010. Prior to working for Lely, I worked across many industries from a steel framed building company to a Swedish multinational vehicle manufacturer either in accounts or treasury roles.
Whilst I appreciate the entire product range, the Luna cow brush has to be my favourite Lely product. I think it’s important to keep the cows and happy and it’s like a little spa treatment for them!
Outside of work you’ll find me running around after my daughter, baking, painting and doing crafts… it’s amazing what you can do with toilet rolls!
"With dairy farmers in the family using Lely milking robots and barn cleaning systems, I have seen the benefits automation can bring to a farm first-hand."
I am the Stock Controller at Lely Center Holsworthy. I have been in the dairy industry for the last 10 years working with conventional milking systems and also Lely robotic milking and feeding systems. I also have a long history in the transport industry.
I chose to work for Lely as it is such an exciting and innovative company; I think robotics have a huge part to play in the future of farming by giving farmers more free time and a better work / life balance.
For me, one of my favourite products is the Lely Collector 120 slurry vacuum. This is a very useful piece of equipment as it provides the farmer with peace of mind that the passageways and yard will always be clean, providing help with cow health and welfare and also lowering manhours.
"It has been really interesting to learn about the different equipment and systems Lely offers to help farmers and livestock with their day-to-day operations."
I joined the team at Lely Center Holsworthy as the new , having recently relocated to Devon from North Hampshire.
I’ve worked in Finance across various industries (bespoke handmade jewellery, commercial property insurance, research and development software for life sciences) – each one completely different and interesting in their own way! In my most recent role in software, I was the administrator of the accounting system and supported all users across the business, but mainly Finance.
Having only Clarkson’s Farm as my prior ‘farming’ knowledge, it was really interesting to learn about the different equipment and systems Lely offers to help farmers and livestock with their day-to-day operations. While researching this role, I loved reading about the combination of the Lely Meteor automatic hoof sprayer and Astronaut – being able to perform important hoof care alongside milking seems like a great idea for efficiency and livestock welfare!
I am completely new to Devon, having moved here a month ago, so I am enjoying exploring the area and sampling lots of local produce! My favourite view so far is definitely the Tors on the way to Okehampton, but I still need to get out and walk on the moors. I am enjoying having our own garden for the first time, so I’m doing plenty of plant shopping. I’m generally a bit of a ‘homebody’ and enjoy reading and playing video games between trips out and about.
