Earlier in March, I attended the annual conference of the National Association of Group Secretaries for the NFU. The event took place over three days in Newcastle, Northern Ireland. It was a great opportunity to meet with representatives of the NFU and discuss ways in which we could jointly increase the awareness of the NFU Energy Service amongst their members.

We deliver the NFU Energy Service, on behalf of the NFU, to help members buy, generate and save energy. Following the relaunch of this service, our goal is to make sure that we are providing members with a service that actually helps them with their energy needs.

I gave a presentation to the Group Secretaries on Thursday morning and used the opportunity to give them a bit of an insight into how their members could benefit from the service.

It was clear to see that the Group Secretaries are determined to deliver the best service they possibly can to NFU Members. Regular news, with meaningful updates, and the inclusion of the Energy Service in the “Toolkit” seemed to be high priorities, as well as some regular promotions for both Secretaries and Members.

We would like to thank all involved for the hospitality shown to us and look forward to next year’s event.
