Members of the Institute of Meat (IoM) came together on Friday 25th July for a day of “learning and collaboration” featuring hands-on demonstrations and expert speakers.
IoM members were invited to attend a “landmark event” at a research and development farm in Staffordshire that brought people from across the meat industry together in a spirit of collaboration, learning and celebration.
Showcasing skills
The programme for the day featured a mix of activities designed to display both traditional skills and forward-thinking modern approaches. Attendees had the opportunity to engage with hands-on demonstrations, hear from expert speakers and connect with peers from across the meat sector. Highlights included:
- Burger making and butchery showcases.
- Knife sharpening and traditional meat tying demonstrations.
- A guided farm tour.
- A session on farm sustainability.
Reflecting the energy, expertise and enthusiasm of the professional community, the event marked a “significant step forward” for the IoM in fostering stronger connections and a shared commitment to excellence and innovation in the meat industry.
With strong attendance and positive feedback, the IoM has said that this event signals the beginning of a promising new chapter for member engagement within the Institute of Meat. Plans are underway for similar education and collaboration days in future and members are invited to contact the IoM if they would be interested in hosting an event.
