Tim has been an active part of developing and improving a number of food safety schemes, including the due Diligence Scheme, as well as his work as part of Dairy UK’s residues group includes the development of the hugely successful ‘MilkSure’ to train farmers, and which has set a new industry benchmark for best practice and creating more engagement between farmers and vets on antibiotics issues.

His knowledge and work are outstanding and he is a deserving winner of this year’s award.”
Tim Hampton commented: “Being able to work together across companies in a non-competitive environment gives true value to the sector and working with Dairy UK has always been a pleasure and I strongly believe in the benefits that it brings to its members. I feel privileged to have been able to work with such talented people and contribute in a small way to its successes”
