NFU Cymru has appointed Lindsay Jones as its new office manager.

Lindsay, a farmer’s daughter originally from Hundred House, now lives in Llanafan Fawr with her two sons, where they farm beef and sheep.

Having had a varied career, working at an estate agents, being an admin assistant at a tourism business and Builth Wells Quarry, Lindsay had a change of career when her children were small and became a sports therapist. Before joining the NFU Cymru team, Lindsay worked as a Practice Manager in Builth Wells Veterinary Practice.

Speaking about her appointment, Lindsay said: “I am pleased to be taking on my new role as Office Manager for NFU Cymru. I see it as a new challenge in my career which will allow me to continue working within the farming sector, something I enjoyed while working at the vets.

“I already know a number of staff and members within the NFU Cymru team, and I look forward to meeting more people, who are all striving to give Welsh farmers a voice and the best possible representation on all platforms.”

NFU Cymru Director John Mercer said: “At such an important time for Welsh agriculture I am pleased to welcome Lindsay to the NFU Cymru team. I have no doubt that she will ensure the office continues to run smoothly and ensure that members needs are met on a day-to-day basis.”
