Philip O'Conor, Manager
 Educated at the Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester, Philip joined EP Cambridge UK in the early 1990s,
where he was involved in exporting and stock selection in South America.
Philip was part of the Atlantic team responsible for discovering Highlander in Northern Chile, the world
renowned stud male that went on to help establish the Australian alpaca industry.
Philip then spent five years in Australia converting a 200 acre beef farm into the now extremely
successful Birnam Wood vineyard, part of Penmara Wines, in the Hunter Valley region of New South
Wales. Visit www.penmarawines.com.au to find out more.
In 1999, Philip returned to Atlantic and helped to establish their new base at Glyndebourne Farm
in 2000. Since then, Philip's on-going role has been to oversee the growth and development of
EP Cambridge UK and the continual improvement of the herd.
Philip is an active board member of the British Alpaca Society and is widely respected for his experience, expertise and passion to drive forward the alpaca industry in the UK.
Verity Clarke
Verity has worked with alpacas ever since completing her degree in Animal Science and is recognised as one of the most knowledgeable alpaca managers in the UK, if not worldwide.
Joining Atlantic in 2000, Verity has become one of the farm's most valuable assets and, through her commitment and enthusiasm, has helped to develop our alpaca herd into one that is envied across the world. Verity's memory is extraordinary, and she knows each of our alpacas personally, as well as many that have now moved on to new homes, by both name and number!
All our clients benefit from Verity's wealth of knowledge and experience on all aspects of alpaca husbandry.
