Edward Adamson’s NSA award richly deserved: MP
DUP Agriculture spokesperson, Carla Lockhart MP, has congratulated National Sheep Association stalwart, Edward Adamson MBE, 2025 recipient of the coveted George Hedley Memorial Award.
The MP said: “This is a richly deserved honour that recognises Edward’s outstanding service, dedication, and leadership within the sheep industry, both here in Northern Ireland and across the United Kingdom.
“For almost four decades, Edward Adamson from Carrickfergus, has been a strong advocate for our farming community, always working to promote excellence, support fellow farmers, and champion the vital role of the sheep sector within the agricultural industry.”
The Upper Bann MP added: “His contribution through the National Sheep Association (NSA), the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society (RUAS), and numerous breed societies is truly exemplary. This prestigious national award, his fellowship of the Council for Awards of Royal Agricultural Societies (CARAS), and an MBE in 2024, are testament to the high esteem in which Edward Adamson is held by his peers and the broader agricultural sector.
“His commitment, integrity and passion continue to inspire many others within the NSA and the wider sheep industry. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Edward, and his family, on this remarkable achievement.”
