Nominations are open for the 2023 Chris Brant Award winner, which named after the late industry campaigner, recognises those who have ‘gone the extra mile’ for the pig industry over the past 12 months.
Won last year by Yorkshire pig producer Anna Longthorp in recognition of her relentless campaigning under the #BiteIntoBritish banner, the winner will again be announced at the National Pig Awards in London in November.
The winner could be a well-known figure or one of our industry’s many unsung heroes who have selflessly gone above and beyond in supporting others during the turmoil of the past year.
How to nominate
Please email NPA@npanet.org.uk with your nomination and a few sentences explaining why you think they deserve the award.
“This award is looking at what an individual or organisation has done for the wider industry, over and above their day job,” NPA chief executive Lizzie Wilson said.
“There have been some fantastic winners in the past, who have all demonstrated that passion and commitment to the pig industry, many of whom aren’t well known and quietly do what they do without realising the real impact they have on others’ lives.
“No doubt, there are many potential winners out there who are equally deserving. This award is nominated and judged by industry peers, so let us know why you think your nominee is special, the impact they have had, and why they deserve to join such an illustrious list of previous winners!”
