AHDB names twelve new board members
Twelve new Sector Board members have been appointed across five of the sectors at the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board. Four of the new members have been appointed in AHDB Pork Sector Board and AHDB Beef & Lamb Sector Board.
Processor Nick Davies and farmer Tim Bradshaw have joined the AHDB Pork Sector Board, while the seats in AHDB Beef & Lamb Sector Board have been filled by farmer Colin Bateman and processor Trevor Bellis. They took up their roles on 1 April, replacing sector board members who reached the end of their terms of office on 31 March. Appointments are for a three-year period.
AHDB Chief Strategy Officer Tom Hind said: “The AHDB Board delegates powers to the Sector Boards for devising and recommending the appropriate sector strategies and the budgets to deliver them. They also monitor that the levy raised from an industry sector has been spent to the benefit of that sector. We welcome our new members who have been recruited on an open, competitive basis and represent some of the best talents in the industry.”
These sector boards are predominantly made up of farmers, growers & processors, providing an important level of direct accountability for AHDB. Sector boards typically have between 10 and 14 members, one or two of which will be non-levy payer independent members bringing additional expertise in areas such as marketing or supply chain.
