Hogan and Hoare honoured at Dairy UK dinner

Phil Hogan, European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, and Simon Hoare, MP and chair of the Dairy All-Party Parliamentary Group, are this year’s winners of the Dairy UK Award.

The award was presented by Dr David Dobbin, chairman of Dairy UK, during the Dairy UK annual dinner at the Royal Garden Hotel in London on 21 June 2017.

Speaking at the dinner, Dr Dobbin says, “Both winners work tirelessly to promote the dairy industry from farm to fridge. It’s important that we have key decision makers like Commissioner Hogan and Simon Hoare MP to ensure that the industry is protected at home and abroad.

“Commissioner Hogan’s advocacy for food and farming has made a real difference, especially for farmers.

“Additionally, Simon’s proactive leadership in the Dairy APPG has helped to ensure that the interests of the industry are centre stage.”
