The Northen Feed Alliance will be holding its third annual bourse on Thursday 19th June at Alberts Shed, 20 Castle Street, Manchester, M3 4LZ starting at 5.30pm.
The alliance was created in 2024 to reinvigorate and rejuvenate three existing trade associations – The Manchester Corn and Allied Trades Guild, The Liverpool Corn and Feed Trade Association and The Lancashire and Cheshire Corn and Agricultural Merchants.
“Drawing the three well-respected and long-established associations into a single alliance will help all those involved in the feed industry to collectively address the broadening issues facing the industry,” Dr Phil Holder, President of the Alliance explains.
“It is a proactive association working across the grain and feed supply trade building a foundation for a more integrated industry. We will be striving to increase inclusivity and diversity across the entire supply chain, and we encourage all businesses involved in the production and supply of animal feed to become members, however big or small. There is a strong emphasis in encouraging younger members of the trade to take an active role.
“The principal objectives of the Alliance are to share knowledge and trade awareness, to develop a robust networking structure to facilitate businesses working more closely together whilst also building on the long standing and proud traditions of the industry.
Speakers already confirmed for the bourse are:
• David Mathias, Cereals Director at Warburtons
• Robert Sheasby Chief Executive, AIC
“Last year’s event was very well attended and extremely well received, and we want to build on this for 2025. It’s an excellent opportunity to network with fellow members of the feed industry and to get an independent update on UK agriculture from AIC president, Robert Sheasby as well as insights into the cereals market and baking industry from David Mathias.”
Tickets cost £25 including a buffet. For ticket enquires either contact Phil Holder directly of secretary@northernfeedalliance.co.uk
