Dromara-based dairy farmer and Nuffield scholar Gregg Somerville has taken on the role of chair of the Nuffield Scholars Association Northern Ireland.
Drawing on his own experiences during his 2011 scholarship, Gregg hopes that the learning and knowledge provided through travel and research will enable young people to develop their own potential and that the wider sector will benefit from their experiences.
Gregg would encourage anyone with a good idea, which they would like to develop, to apply for an award.
