We’re onto a winner again at the Farmer’s Weekly Awards!

Congratulations from all of us at Rural Asset Finance to N D Harper, who was this week named Contractor Of The Year at the Farmer’s Weekly Awards!

We were delighted to sponsor the category and Nigel’s brilliant business near Congleton in Cheshire made him a worthy winner as he received the trophy from our CEO Matthew Smart.

It was as always a brilliant evening at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London’s Park Lane, with an excellent host in Colin Murray and a fantastic performance from the Hawkstone Farmers’ Choir.

“Congratulations to Nigel and his team at Cloud Hill Farm, who thoroughly deserved the award,” said Matthew. “Congratulations, too, not just to the runners-up, Dean Farming and Horsleys of Abbeytown, but all the winners and nominees in every single categories.

“We’re immensely proud to sponsor the Farmer’s Weekly Awards. They not only give farmers a well-deserved night out in wonderful surroundings – more importantly this event showcases and publicises the outstanding job all farmers and contractors do all year round.

“We’re honoured to be associated with an event that recognises the whole UK farming community for their consistently outstanding commitment to putting food on the nation’s tables.”
