Joe Farren, CEO, Ulster Wool explains: “Brendan and I look forward to meeting producers at both meetings as the shearing season starts.

“We’ll be providing an update on current prices, the newly launched new entrant’s scheme, and various initiatives including a more proactive approach to promoting wool engaging and collaborating with manufacturers, retailers and consumers on the benefits of wool as a quality fibre. Raising awareness and the profile of wool as a high performing fibre helps to increase demand at our auctions which safeguards the long term future of the fibre, and Ulster Wool.

“We are currently working with manufacturing partners on developing wool rich products and a new licensee scheme – working with users of wool and product development will encourage more use of our fibre and increase demand which can only be good news for our producers.

“We’ll also be explaining more about our commitment to producer service, including a new intermediate depot being opened in Co. Tyrone.”

Joe and Brendan Kelly, Chairman, will both be in attendance to meet producers.

Refreshments will be available at the end of the meeting.
