The FUW has teamed up with NatWest Cymru to seek nominations for its esteemed Outstanding Service to the Welsh Dairy Industry Award. This is your chance to shine a spotlight on someone within the dairy sector who has truly gone above and beyond.

This prestigious award celebrates a person who has not only contributed significantly to the development of the Welsh dairy sector but has also become a key part of its community.

The winner will be publicly announced and honoured with the award presentation at the Welsh Dairy Show on Tuesday, October 20, 2026 at the United Counties Showground in Nantyci, Carmarthen.

Opening the nominations process for the FUW/NatWest Cymru Outstanding Service to the Welsh Dairy Industry Award, FUW Carmarthen Member Services Manager, David Waters said: “This award provides a terrific opportunity to recognise the hard work, dedication, and innovation of individuals who have helped shape the industry for the better. We’re particularly delighted to have teamed up with NatWest Cymru this year, with their support helping us give this award the profile it deserves.”

Dai Miles, FUW Deputy President and a former winner of the award in 2021, added: “The dairy industry is a crucial part of Wales’ agricultural fabric, and a significant contributor to the Welsh economy. Every day individuals go above and beyond to safeguard and champion the sector. This award therefore serves as a fantastic opportunity to publicly celebrate and honour those unsung heroes who are the very backbone of our industry.”
