Terry Jones, NFU director general will be the guest speaker at the Pembrokeshire NFU Cymru county conference on Thursday, January 25.

The conference, which will be held at Nantyffin Hotel, Llandissilio, gets underway with hot beef rolls from 7 pm, with the conference commencing at 7.30 pm.

Terry Jones re-joined the NFU as its director general in April 2016. For five years previously, he had been running food industry trade associations. In 2011, he joined the Food and Drink Federation (FDF) as its director of communications, where he sought to bring to life how food manufacturers could deliver increased rates of sustainable growth.

He left there at the end of 2014 to take up the post of DG at the Provision Trade Federation (PTF) looking after the interests of businesses involved in the UK bacon and dairy trade. He has also previously worked for the NFU in a variety of roles, including head of government affairs, head of food chain and director of communications.

As well as featuring an address from the main guest speaker Terry Jones, the meeting will also see NFU Cymru deputy president John Davies discuss the key issues currently affecting the agricultural industry.

Jeff Evans, NFU Cymru Pembrokeshire county chairman, said: “We are most grateful to Terry Jones for agreeing to come and speak at our conference, and it will also be great to hear from John Davies.

“We also express our gratitude to HSBC Bank for sponsoring the event, and it is great that a representative from the bank will be attending the meeting to speak to our members. I hope we will get a good turnout for this meeting and I encourage members to bring their friends and neighbours along, too.”

NFU Cymru would like to thank HSBC for sponsoring its series of 11 county conferences across Wales.
