Former FEFAC president takes on AIC feed role
The UK's Agricultural Industries Confederation (AIC) has announced that Nick Major, corporate affairs director at ForFarmers, has taken on the role of chair of the AIC feed executive committee.
Major was appointed at the AIC AGM in early October; he takes over from the recently appointed AIC chair, Angela Booth, director of feed safety at AB Agri, in that role.
“We are delighted that Nick has accepted this role having served as a member of the feed executive committee for many years," said James McCulloch, feed sector head for the AIC. “He has already had an integral role in the initiatives championed by Angela during her eight years as chair and I am confident that he will be bringing his experience, most notably as past president of FEFAC to build on the unwavering commitment that Angela has demonstrated during her time."
Major said a key focus going forward in the role would undoubtedly be on matters surrounding EU exit and new trade deals. "However all of these issues will, in my view, be driven by the imperative to deliver a more sustainable food supply chain and I will be ensuring our sector seeks to lead on the goals set out in the recently published AIC sustainability roadmap."
