Mark Jagger, BQP Assistant Grower Farms Manager, has been awarded the prestigious Outstanding Contribution to Pig Welfare gong in the RSPCA Assured Pig & Poultry Awards 2021.
The national awards recognise members who have gone above and beyond the standards and expectations to help improve farm animal welfare.
Mark said: “I am thrilled to be given this award which is a huge nod from the industry and the RSPCA welfare team. Pig welfare is at the heart of everything me and the BQP team do. Our commitment to pig welfare and continued pursuit to improve means we are one of the leading businesses when it comes to animal welfare. This award is testament to not only my work but that of the BQP team and the wider business.
