ABP UK has become a sponsor of a National Farmers’ Union (NFU) scheme to highlight the sustainability of British food to elected representatives. The NFU (National Farmers' Union) Food and Farming Fellowship Scheme will showcase the industry by enabling participating MPs to see first-hand how sustainable and affordable food gets from field to fork. The scheme has strong cross-party representation with Conservative Party, Labour Party and Liberal Democrats MPs signed up. Their year-long itinerary will cover different farming sectors and conclude with a graduation dinner in Westminster where the MPs will be recognised for their work in building up an understanding of the UK food and farming industry. NFU president Tom Bradshaw said the scheme was designed to create a group of “champion MPs” who are aware of the issues affecting the farming and food sectors. Alongside ABP UK, the scheme’s sponsors are the Agricultural Industries Confederation, Arla Foods, Barfoots, the British Egg Industry Council and Fareshare.

Ten colleagues from ABP Lurgan took on the challenge of running the Belfast City Marathon earlier this year and lived to tell the tale. Their dedication and determination paid off, as they not only completed the 26.2 mile course but also raised an impressive £2,236 for the Northern Ireland Kidney Research Fund. The 2024 Belfast City Marathon was the biggest in the city’s history, with a record 5,500 runners taking to the streets. The ABP Lurgan team’s participation was about more than just crossing the finish line; it was about making a meaningful impact on the lives of those affected by kidney disease. Well done to the team for their incredible achievement, both on the course and in their fundraising efforts. #TeamABP #BelfastCityMarathon
