Winning streak at Shows

Countrywide is quite literally showing huge success with recent wins for our trade stands at the Royal Welsh Show and the NSA Sheep Event.

At the Royal Welsh Show, which ran from 21-24 July, Countrywide won the Best Trade stand. “We are very proud of this win,” smiles Becky Barningham, Countrywide Group Marketing Manager. “A huge thank you to everyone who has helped with the event, especially Sarah Crabbe who co-ordinated the event organization,” she adds.

And following on from this, Countrywide has also been awarded 3rd place for the trade stand at the NSA Sheep Event at the Malvern Showground.

The stand promoted sheep feeds, milk powders, minerals and licks, animal health and shearing equipment, fencing and Batemans livestock equipment. Added features such as refreshments and a prize draw to win a tonne of sheep feed, a big bale cradle and £50 of store vouchers helped secure the win.

“This NSA Sheep Event is recognised as the specialist one day event with everything to hand on one site for all farmers in the sheep farming community, so it’s great news that Countrywide’s presence, specialist products and expertise on the stand were rewarded, ” explains Sarah Crabbe, Marketing Co-ordinator. “The event tackles the latest issues that affect all our sheep farmers including breeding, nutrition, management, new technologies, conservation and new techniques.”
