UK Dairy Farmers Forum

Dairy farmers views are given a powerful voice within Dairy UK by the Farmers Forum.

This committee meets quarterly at Dairy UK's London offices to discuss an independent agenda of farming matters. The Farmers Forum gathers prior to meetings of the main Dairy UK Board, and elects two of its number to attend Board meetings.

Chairman Rex Ward farms in Cornwall and supplies Milk Link, while Vice Chairman Lyndon Edwards farms Chepstow. They are responsible for representing the views of farmers at the heart of Dairy UK.

Other members include:

Roger Evans (First Milk)
David Cotton (RABDF)
John Dunlop (United Dairy Farmers)
Eifion Huws (Farmers Union of Wales)
Phil Allin (Dairy Crest Direct)
Wesley Abbey (Arla Foods Milk Partnerships)
James Richardson (Robert Wiseman Dairies)
Geoff Hopkins (Volac)
Peter Simpson (Lactalis)
