Reading based pig-farm equipment control specialists, Farmex, has scooped a major industry award — the Allied Industry Group “Member of the Year”, against strong competition.
The award, part of the National Pig Awards, was presented to Hugh Crabtree, the company’s managing director, at a special ceremony in London, by National Pig Association chairman, Richard Lister.
The judges praised the company’s help in improving pig producers’ efficiency through the use of electronic monitoring and also Hugh’s personal on-going support for the industry, having been an “absolute stalwart” of the British pig industry campaigns, particularly during times of crisis.
“It's very flattering to garner any votes from customers and peers especially in the company of two other excellent suppliers in the sector. But to win is fantastic and I am very grateful to all those that took the time to vote for us,” commented Hugh.
The National Pig Awards are organised by Pig World magazine, AHDB Pork, the National Pig Association and British Pig Association, with sponsorship from ten other industry companies.
