A FAMILIAR face for many in the north east's agricultural sector has taken on a new challenge - helping farmers to collaborate on business ventures.
Doug Gray has been named as the north east's new regional manager with English Farming and Food Partnerships (EFFP).
Doug will provide dedicated business support to groups of farmers who want to work together to improve their profitability and sustainability, and to existing farmer-controlled businesses across north east England.
He will also be working with food, non-food and biofuels processors and manufacturers to increase the amount of produce they source direct from farms in the region.
Doug's post is supported by One NorthEast as an extra resource to help farmers find ways of working together more closely and to develop their links with suppliers, new customers and retailers.
