The Brassica Growers’ Association has chosen Matthew Rawson as its new Chairman.
Rawson has been involved in brassica production for 12 years, growing sprouts, asparagus, other vegetable crops and arable in the Yorkshire Wolds.
The new Vice Chairman is Mr Stefan Williams of Drysdales and new Board members are Richard Parry, John Sedgwick and David Waring.
Outgoing Chair and Vice Messrs Phillip Effingham and Alistair Ewan both remain as active directors on the Board.
The new team plan a monthly instead of quarterly newsletter, regional meetings for growers, a new look at the generic Love Your Greens campaign.
They also plan to develop the work from the R&D committee to ensure the industry is maximising its use of Horticultural Development Company funds for the benefit of all those who contribute.
The new chairman aims to meet many members over the next 12 months as well as visiting non-member growers to explain the benefits of joining the industry association.
