Argyll & the Islands

Lucy Sumsion

As regional manager for Argyll and the Islands, my role is a diverse one, but I am primarily here to support and assist members within this region, along with your local group secretary.

I work closely with the Regional Board Chairman, Duncan Macalister along with your branch representatives. I also represent NFU Scotland locally on several stakeholder groups.

NFUS will continue to spend a significant amount of time dealing with the challenges that the agricultural sector will face in leaving the European Union at the end of 2020. Locally in the Argyll & the Islands region we will be working with all the relevant local authorities, Highlands & Islands Enterprise and other relevant  organisations to make them fully aware of all the impacts, and highlight the opportunities that farmers, crofters and land managers are going to face in the coming years.

NFU Scotland - Argyll & the Islands also has an active Facebook page, which I would encourage all members to like and share. As always I am keen to get out and about across the region as much as possible to meet members and help you with any specific issues or concerns that you have.
