Tesco director to address NFU conference

Tesco Director of Agriculture, Tom Hind, will be guest speaker at the NFU Cymru Monmouthshire County Conference on Thursday, 22 January 2015.

Held at the Alice Springs Golf Club, Usk, the meeting will commence at 7.30pm.

NFU Cymru members are invited to listen to Mr Hind give a presentation on Tesco’s agriculture plan and the importance of working more closely with producers. Members will then have an opportunity to take part in a question and answer session afterwards.

As Director of Agriculture, Tom is responsible for shaping Tesco’s agriculture strategy, building stronger relationships with suppliers and producers to deliver fantastic quality products to customers. Prior to joining Tesco as the company’s first Agriculture Director in 2013 he worked for over 15 years at the NFU in a variety of positions both in the UK & Brussels.

Gary Yeomans, the newly elected County Chairman for NFU Cymru in Monmouthshire said, “We are very grateful to Tom for agreeing to come and speak at our conference. I hope we will get a good turnout of local NFU Cymru members to the conference. I would also like to thank HSBC bank for sponsoring the event.”
