BMPA appoints trade expert in the board to tackle Brexit effects
The British Meat Processors Association (BMPA) has appointed Peter Hardwick as its Trade Policy Advisor at a time of unprecedented upheaval in the British meat industry. Mr Hardwick has worked in the international meat sector for 40 years in meat production and processing and international trading including exports and policy. During that time he has built up a large network of connections across multiple overseas markets and has established himself as one of the UK’s leading experts in both domestic and international trade.
Nick Allen, CEO of BMPA said: “Peter joins BMPA at a time of unprecedented upheaval in the British meat industry. His experience in international trade along with his lucid and diplomatic approach will be vital in helping our members to navigate the choppy waters of Brexit and make sense of the new trading conditions once we leave the EU.”
According to BMPA President Isla Roebuck, the association is building a team that will be able to better support current members as well as introduce new services, technical information and industry intelligence to create a wider membership offering.
Commenting on his new role, Mr Hardwick said: “I am excited to join BMPA at a time of such change both for the industry and for the Association and I look forward to helping our members handle whatever challenges Brexit poses.”
