The poultry industry’s most prestigious award was presented to Dr Trefor Campbell CBE, Chairman of Moy Park Ltd, at the Egg and Poultry Industry Conference (EPIC) banquet on the 5th November.

Started in 1953, the Award carries the joint names of the old British Poultry Federation (the forerunner of the British Poultry Council) and the major feed manufacturer BOCM PAULS Ltd. This year the award was presented by Iain Gardener of BOCM PAULS.

Citing Dr Campbell’s vision and leadership, Ted Wright, BPC Chairman said: “This is the poultry industry’s most prestigious award. It recognises Trefor’s consistant and substantial commitment  to the UK primary poultry processing sector and his investment in its future”.

The BPC Chairman praised Dr Campbell’s strong interest and involvement in bodies encouraging in many ways young people to make the most of their abilities and the direct practice of these values in Moy Park through pioneering adult education programmes and specific training programmes.  

Commenting further Ted said: “This is well-deserved recognition for Trefor’s massive contribution to the UK poultry industry, both through his own company, and through wider development and training initiatives”.
