Your Surrey county NFU update

Harriet Henrick

Harriet Henrick

Surrey County Adviser

Find out about the recent health and safety day in Surrey.

Firstly, I would just like to say how lovely it has been to see so many of you over the last few weeks.

We had a very successful health and safety day, kindly hosted by Tom Exwood and joined by NFU West Sussex and Surrey members. There was an incredibly strong contingent of Surrey farmers in attendance, which shows people see the value in having a reminder pre-harvest on how to look after yourself and others.

This year they covered mental health, working at heights and risk assessments, among other things. We aim to change these topics each year to keep it new and interesting so any suggestions of topics and locations for 2026 are welcome.

As always, please get in touch if you have any concerns or subjects you want to raise.

Wishing you all the best harvest.
