The National Farmers’ Union has re-elected Tom Bradshaw as it president, as it revealed its new officeholder team for the next two-year term.
Bradshaw, an arable farmer from Essex, has been part of the NFU officeholder team for six years, having served as president for the past two years and holding both the vice-president and deputy president positions before that.
He will be joined by Paul Tompkins as deputy president and Robyn Munt as vice-president, who replaces David Exwood and Rachel Hallos respectively.
“The past 18 months have been among the most challenging in recent memory for British farming. Throughout this time, the NFU has been at the forefront of fighting for our industry and none of it would have been possible without our members,” Bradshaw said.

“The success we have achieved has been down to working collaboratively and showing a united front. Together we have been stronger. “
With the support of the public, we will continue to campaign hard on our members’ behalf to ensure the right policies are in place in order to create an environment for a more resilient, thriving and profitable British farming industry, and secure long-term food security for the UK.”
Deputy president Tompkins added: “Every farmer and grower, whatever their sector, scale or system, wants the same essentials; fairness, stability and the chance to build a future.
“Our union is at its best when it operates as a team, our members, officeholders and staff all pulling in the same direction, working with those that share our values. My focus is now clear – deliver practical results for farmers, work collaboratively, keep a sharp commercial outlook and build confidence across the farming community.”
