FUW LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD FOR TERRY

THE Farmers' Union of Wales has awarded its 2025 FUW Lifetime Achievement Award to Terry Bayliss, recognising his longstanding contribution to the UK sheep sector and farmer-led processing initiatives.

- 

Terry's involvement in the agricultural industry took a significant step forward in 1998, when he and four fellow farmers established Farmers Ferry in response to poor returns for UK sheep producers.

Their aim was to create a more efficient route for exporting lambs directly from farms to continental markets.

By its second year, Farmers Ferry was exporting around 1.2 million lambs, quickly becoming a notable development within the sector. Terry has served as Company Director and Chairman for 27 years.
