Nofence is a Norwegian scale up that has built the world’s first virtual fencing solution for livestock. The technology consists of a solar-powered collar that communicates with an app over the cellular network. Through the app, farmers can set up a new grazing area in seconds, and the long days of installing and moving fences are officially over! This creates better farmer welfare and increased animal welfare. The animals gain access to new areas that were previously impossible to fence in, and the farmer will always have visibility of their location.

Today, we have over 3000 customers in Norway and we are establishing ourselves in the UK, Spain & the US. Our UK team is now seeking a Sales Manager to join them at the Shropshire Office. 

Join us on the journey to revolutionize agriculture and create a better everyday life for farmers and animals!
