Congratulations to Lloyd Humphreys and Tom Pritchard for achieving a Certificate in Higher Education in Livestock Market: Operations & Management, and fellowship status to the Livestock Auctioneers Association. The four-year programme concluded with a graduation ceremony at Harper Adams University on Monday 5 January.
Tom Pritchard, associate partner and livestock auctioneer at Brecon and Kington Livestock Markets, McCartneys LLP, said:
“The course has helped me understand the importance of the work done before and after a sale. Ensuring you have the right buyers, staff and facilities is just as important as the sale itself, as is maintaining strong relationships with buyers and sellers afterwards.”
“I have made a lot of friends from all over the UK who I know I can call on for advice or help if needed. It has given me an insight into how farming and the marketing of livestock is done in other areas.”
