Tharos brings together people from science, medicine, veterinary practice, nutrition, business and animal health. That mix of perspectives is part of how we work.
The strength of Tharos comes from combining people who understand different parts of the same problem — science, veterinary medicine, nutrition, commercialisation and company building.
Douglas brings extensive experience of entrepreneurship, technology businesses and company formation to Tharos. His role connects the scientific opportunity with the strategy, investment and organisational development required to build a sustainable company around it.
Ben leads the commercial development of Tharos and its specialist brands, connecting product strategy with customers, professional partnerships, digital commerce and international growth.
Consultant Emeritus in Gastroenterology at Addenbrooke's Hospital, John brought a clinical view of digestion and the gastrointestinal environment to the collaboration from which Tharos developed.
A biochemist and former Honorary Reader of Toxicology at the University of Birmingham, Rosemary's expertise in metabolism and biochemical pathways helped shape the scientific thinking behind Tharos.
Mark is an internationally recognised equine veterinary specialist and clinical scientist. His experience in internal medicine, sports medicine and clinical research helps connect Tharos science with real-world equine health and veterinary practice.
Victoria is an experienced animal nutritionist with qualifications in agricultural biochemistry, nutrition and animal production, bringing decades of experience across animal feed, nutrition, production and feed safety.
A gastroenterologist may ask a different question from a biochemist. A veterinarian may see a different practical problem from a nutritionist. And a commercial team has to understand whether the resulting science can become a product people can realistically use.
Tharos deliberately brings those perspectives together. The value is not simply the expertise of each individual, but what happens when those disciplines work on the same problem.
The company continues to work with veterinary practices, researchers, nutritionists and animal-health professionals beyond the core Tharos team, expanding the expertise applied to each research and product-development programme.
Our research and product-development programmes are strengthened by collaboration with people and organisations outside the core Tharos team. Good science benefits from bringing the right expertise around the same problem.
