The National Farmers’ Union has unwrapped its new headquarters in time for Christmas.

The farming union has officially taken up residence in its new base at the Royal Showground, Stoneleigh, Warwickshire, and all 108 staff are busy unpacking.

NFU President, Tim Bennett, said: “This project has been two years in the making. It seems a long time ago when we first discussed our plans to move to Warwickshire.

“Now, thanks to thousands of man hours and five removal lorries we have walked into the most magnificent new building. We are really looking forward to 2006 and continuing to promote the interests of our members from our new headquarters.”
