Meet the Crufts team!

Meet the Crufts team!

Claire Negri |

We've had some new starters in the Dorwest team over the years so here is a chance to introduce ourselves before we meet you all at Crufts! Whether you've spoken to one of our Customer Advisers on the phones or are in contact with someone in the team via email, you can now put a name to the face.

Name: Jo Boughton-White

Job role: Managing director

Expertise: I am heavily involved in the product development, marketing and business oversight. Also pretty good at drinking coffee

Favourite product to recommend: Tree barks powder as it can make such a major difference in a short time. Also Omega Star, the outstanding results we see from this product never ceases to amaze me!

Pets: I have 4 naughty whippets, Peggy Sue who is 11, Elsie who is 8, Hilda aged 6, and Katnis aged 2

Favourite thing about Crufts: The buzz, without a doubt there is no show like Crufts, the atmosphere is electric whether you are around the breed rings, discover dogs or in the arena. I love it in the afternoon when you start hearing all the cheering around the rings as best of breeds are declared and when customers run back over to the stand to tell us all about it- magical!

Name: Ben Boughton-White

Job role: My role is Operations Director

Expertise: My role can vary from ensuring processes run smoothly and efficiently, to being responsible for HR and Health & Safety. My background is very much IT-based having worked for both the UK Government and a multi-national Defence company.

Favourite product to recommend: Garlic & Fenugreek Tablets and Scullcap & Valerian – both products are great in their own way. Garlic & Fenugreek is versatile which means it has a broad appeal and Scullcap & Valerian can literally change a dogs life.

Pets: I’m lucky enough to have four whippets! Each with their own unique personality.

Favourite thing about Crufts: For me Crufts is all about our Customers and the team work. Also getting to see the show dogs, assistance dogs, PAT dogs, and working dogs too. It’s also the time when we hear the biggest amount of feedback, about how we helped someone’s dog or changed their life.It’s something everyone looks forward to and gets a lot out of – it inspires us all for the rest of the year.
