“Over that time we have seen so much great talent, innovation and old-fashioned hard work recognised and rewarded. We’re proud to be part of such a vibrant and successful sector.
“We share your passion for farming. We understand that agriculture is fundamental to our country’s economy and that electricity is essential to powering the industry, which is why we have dedicated Primary ITO-trained account managers.”
Sustainability, along with increasing regulation and the need for greater cost-control measures, were big issues facing farmers today.
“As onfarm electricity experts, we help our customers focus on energy efficiency with the aim of reducing their bills and maintaining good business economics,” she says.
“We know that, like Meridian, farmers place great value on the land and the environment, and that’s why we continue to sponsor the Farm Environment Award.
“And, for the second year running, we are delighted to sponsor the Leadership Award. As a past Nuffield Scholar leadership and mentoring, especially of women, are subjects I am personally passionate about. That is why Meridian also supports the Dairy Woman of the Year Award. With so much young – and female – talent coming through I think our agricultural industry is in great hands.
“And finally, best of luck to all entrants and regional finalists in this year’s competition.”
