The who’s who of the Pork Sector Council

The Pork Sector Council is a levy-funded advisory group within AHDB.

Representing producers, processors and independent specialists, the council sets strategic priorities and recommends levy rates to ensure investments deliver value for levy payers.

We recently welcomed Lee Rampling to the council, who brings with him 30 years’ experience in the meat industry. The last five years have been spent as a board director with Pilgrim’s, working closely with the integrated pork supply chain as part of his responsibilities for fresh pork operations.
