The first NPA election nominations are in!

We have the first nominations for the 2021 NPA elections - and they are both from the allied industries. 

The earliest bird of the lot was Hugh Crabtree, of Farmex and long-time chair of the Allied Industry Group before it was amalgamated with Producer Group to for the Pig Industry Group. 

"I believe my commercial experience in the UK and overseas pig markets together with my commitment to the NPA over its first 20 years, will stand me in good stead to offer myself for election to the newly constituted Pig Industry Group as one of the allied industry membership representatives," Hugh says in his manifesto. 

His nomination was quickly followed by that of Paul Hutton, of Collinsons. 

"If elected, I believe my cross-sector and international knowledge could serve as an asset to the NPA in the challenges that may arise as we continue to promote and drive forward British agriculture," Paul says.
