New red tractor standards agreed

[glasshouse]

Red Tractor is an assurance scheme which you apply to join. By joining there are several benefits (allegedly) you gain. It's voluntary, and is not compulsory, your choice if you join or not, it's a free World.

You are clearly not a member.

An astute post. Office holders are transient, the real power and policy direction lies with the Executive. I can think of one in particular, considered by many as “the brains” and as far removed from having any empathy or understanding of an ordinary member as you could possibly imagine.
It’s just like Government, senior civil service shape much of the direction in reality.

Definitely a case of Yes Minister!!!

Where can I find who these people are? General Google searching leads to the mutuals executive team as opposed to what you describe above. Thanks.

We all browse on here and it's easy to post your thoughts as you do so, but speaking as someone who did the consultation it was a bit of a PITA to be honest. I did it as I felt it was important rather than because it was how I want to spend my time.

The consultation was designed to be as difficult as possible to complete....

who are the people at the top of the nfu then that seam to brainwash all the new people who join up?? they all seam decent folk full of opinions and ideas etc then after the initial few months have a complete personality change??

the head people we hear and see must have another secret layer above them who we never seam to know about. are nfu red tractor etc all headed up by some secret people we never hear about????

I think it is very "Yes Minister". The paid staff must be in charge it is the only conclusion I can see that makes sense when all the elected officials will disagree with policy off the record.

I use elected only because I cannot think of another word but strongly disagree with how these people gain office in the NFU.

sounds like this unelected executive need exposing by officers and holding to account by members ?
