This is a ministerial appointment, made by the Secretary of State for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and Ministers in the Scottish Government and Welsh Government and Northern Ireland Executive.
AHDB’s Sector strategy director for Pork, Angela Christison, said: “We are delighted that Mike has been appointed for a second term.

In doing so, we can optimise the value of each part of the pig and so too the returns to producers.”
