A founder member and subsequently farmer director and vice chairman of Milk Link, Ward is currently chairman of Dairy UK’s Farmers Forum. He also sits on the Board of Dairy UK and is a director of Cornwall Farmers.
In presenting Ward with his award, Dairy UK vice chairman, Neil Kennedy said: “For the last two years Rex has chaired Dairy UK’s Farmers’ Forum. In this capacity he has taken on a number of high profile activities and done so with great credit.
“His modest demeanour belies an ability to focus on the important issues. This is backed up by a comprehensive top to bottom knowledge and understanding of the dairy industry.
“Not only has Rex represented the interests of dairy farmers on the Board of Dairy UK, but he has also presented evidence to a Parliamentary Select Committee and other MP meetings, he has participated in the negotiations on the voluntary code of practice and he has chaired a number of major industry conferences.”
