NFU Poultry Industry Programme 2022/23

ABN are proud partners of the NFU Poultry Industry Programme (PIP)

  • Home
  • NFU PIP 2022/23

The PIP was initially started by the NFU in recognition of a need to develop the skills and broaden the knowledge of young people already working within the poultry industry. Partnered by ABN from the beginning, the programme is now in its fifth cohort and continues to help to develop participants careers as future industry leaders. 

The programme is made up of a series of events spanning over 12 months, offering participants a unique insight into the industry as well as creating networking opportunities with other likeminded poultry farmers and industry specialists and ultimately supports a brighter future for the British poultry supply chain.
