Charitable Donations

Despite the lack of fund raising events we are continuing to support a diverse range of charities, both large and small, local and national. Our most recent recipients are Andy’s Man Club, Bundles of Joy, Humber Rescue, Krabe UK and RABI.

Global Agricultural Commodities Market Seminar

We are pleased to announce that, despite the cancellation of the Annual Dinner, this year’s Rob Fisher seminar will still take place albeit in a socially distanced manner.

Mark Feight, M.D. and co-founder of International Agribusiness Group LLC and a leading expert on the global agricultural economy, has kindly agreed to host a virtual seminar. This will take place on 15th October, which was the intended Dinner date, so please put this in your diary as it will no doubt once again be a very informative event.

More details and a registration link can be found on the EVENTS page.

North Yorkshire Trade Awareness Course, 21st & 22nd May 2019

“Another successful North Yorkshire trade awareness course, with the weather, companies and delegates being extremely kind to us,” reported Angela Sutherby, lead chaperone.

There was a great mix of visits to cover all different aspects of the trade from pet food production at IPN to finding out how the Theakston’s Best Beer was made and sampling the results.

The coopering, once again brought out the competitive edge in the delegates and it was the ladies with team work and determination which ultimately equalled success.

It was lovely to see so many new people on this course, be it new starters or new to the industry and they all got on really well, which in turn made the course more enjoyable for all.

The opportunity to visit other companies, along with the networking opportunities these course bring are really helpful to people in their development and careers.

Angela would like to thank everyone who attended the course, but especially all the companies that continue to support us, either by sending delegates along on the course, or allowing us the opportunity to visit their premises, which we appreciate takes up a lot of their valuable time and effort, so thank you very much.
