NFU Poultry Industry Programme 2024/25, free range producer, Wales

Having met many previous graduates of the PIP, I am always impressed at how highly they speak of the course.

With many crediting the opportunities and supply chain insights gained, coupled with the chance to meet other young people from within the industry, the experiences they have shared have been a major reason for my application.

Initially, at a younger age, I admit poultry was not a natural passion of mine, but over time it is something I have become increasingly passionate about, and therefore am always keen to keep furthering my knowledge of both the free-range egg industry and the wider poultry sector.
