Top line up of speakers announced
For the 2021 online forums we have a great line up of speakers from across the supply chain, some you will know well and others we rarely hear from, but all are guaranteed to provide you with valuable information and ideas for your business.
Topping the bill, the ever-popular Egg Outlook will give producers the chance to hear what leaders from different parts of the egg supply chain see as the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Tom Willings, Supply Chain Director at Stonegate will outline what the retailers are requiring from packers and where they see the opportunities ahead for British eggs on the shelves. Tom will be joined by Rebecca Tonks from St Ewe Eggs who will share her views from a producer point of view. Mark Williams from the BEIC will give an update on the Lion code, consumer perceptions and egg sales.
Chaired by Aimee Mahony, NFU Chief Poultry Advisor the Outlook forum will provide valuable insight for everyone in the egg sector.
In a forum dedicated to water quality for layers, Ian Lowery from Crowshall Vets will explain how improving water quality can have a direct effect on bird performance and share some practical tips on how you can improve water quality in your sheds.
Producers wondering what Net Zero carbon means for them will be keen to hear BFREPA unveil the findings of an in-depth study examining the sector’s sustainability credentials to deliver practical advice for farmers wishing to adopt net zero practices.

The project has carbon footprinted two units, one flat deck and one multi deck, to identify the source and level of carbon emissions. Heather Webb from Promar will outline the findings and what this means for egg producers looking to mitigate risk, build resilience, source responsibly and unlock revenue streams.
