Farmers in Montgomeryshire will be pleased to hear that their local FUW office now has a new home and is open for business!

The modern new premises are located at Unit 2, St. Giles Business Park, which is located on the Pool Road, Newtown. The new office is disabled access friendly and offers free parking as well.

From their local office in Newtown, the FUW provides:

  • specialist advice to members on agricultural matters,
  • consults and communicates with members at local level and across Wales,
  • comments on and helps to formulate policies in relation to Farming Matters,
  • works with other organisations for the common good of rural Wales,
  • has established permanent and regular Committees covering all the issues of importance to Welsh farmers
  • provides independent access to decision makers in the National Assembly, Westminster and European Union.

For all your farming queries you can speak to Emyr Wyn Davies – County Executive officer, Alison Jones – Administrative Assistant or Lynne Baker - Administrative Assistant by calling the office on 01686 626889.

If you have any insurance queries our friendly Insurance staff are here to help you as well. So why not drop in to speak to Sophie Rees - Administrative Assistant, Nia Wyn Evans – Account Executive (South Montgomeryshire) or Kay Williams - Account Executive (North Montgomeryshire).

Our membership represents the broad spectrum of agricultural activities in Wales and covers a wide range of sectors including sheep, beef, dairy, pigs, arable and those producers covering other activities such as the tourism sector and renewable energies.

Emyr Wyn Davies, the FUW’s Montgomeryshire County Executive Officer is excited to welcome current and potential new members to the new premises: “We look forward to welcoming our current members and of course any potential new members to the new premises. The opening of our new office is a new chapter in the county and we look forward to continue in providing valuable services to the farming community.”

The FUW is a democratic organisation and has 11 standing committees, including Animal Health and Welfare, Milk and Dairy Produce, Livestock, Education and Training, Diversification and the Younger Voice for Farming Committee, with democratically elected farmer representatives covering the Union’s 12 county branches in Wales.

‘Farming Matters’ is the key slogan of the FUW, as we realise that farming matters in so many ways that are seldom realised - not only do farms produce food but they are also a cornerstone of our rural economies.

“We know that family farms in particular are at the heart of our rural economy, caring for our landscape, and of course our culture, and they make innumerable other contributions to the well-being of Wales and the UK. I am delighted to be the point of contact here in Montgomeryshire and hope to see many of you drop into the new office for a chat about #FarmingMatters over a nice cuppa,” added Emyr Wyn Davies.
