Eringold Proudly Sponsors and Presents an Award at the 2025 Farming Life Awards

Eringold was proud to be part of one of the biggest nights in Northern Ireland’s agricultural calendar — the 2025 Farming Life Awards, held at the Crowne Plaza Belfast on Thursday, 30th October.

This year’s event marked a special milestone as Farming Life and Farm Week joined forces to create the largest celebration of farming excellence ever seen in Northern Ireland. The evening brought together hundreds of farmers, agri-businesses, and rural community representatives to celebrate the innovation, resilience and passion that define the sector.

Honouring a Lifetime of Dedication

As a family-run agri-business with deep roots in the local farming community, Eringold was honoured to sponsor and present the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award — a category that recognises individuals who have dedicated their lives to the advancement of Northern Ireland’s farming industry.

This year’s Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Howard Pillow, a truly deserving recipient whose commitment, leadership and service to farming over many years have inspired generations.

Presenting this award was a privilege for the Eringold team, who share the same values of integrity, passion and commitment to excellence that define Howard’s remarkable career.

A Night to Remember

The atmosphere at the Crowne Plaza Belfast was one of celebration and pride as the industry came together to honour 18 categories of achievement — from Young Farmer of the Year and Agri Innovation, to Dairy, Beef, and Arable Producer of the Year.

Each award showcased the talent, determination and entrepreneurial spirit that continues to drive Northern Ireland’s farming sector forward.

Eringold’s representatives were delighted to meet fellow farmers, industry partners and nominees, reflecting on how far the sector has come and the exciting opportunities that lie ahead.

Celebrating 30 Years of Eringold

This year’s awards also held special significance for Eringold, as the company marks 30 years in business — three decades of providing high-quality milk replacers and nutritional support to farmers across Ireland and the UK.

For the Mollan family and the wider Eringold team, supporting an event that celebrates farming excellence was the perfect way to honour the company’s own milestone.

“It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces and celebrate the people who make this industry so special,” said Chris Mollan. “At Eringold, we’re proud to support events like this that recognise farming excellence and community spirit.”

Looking Ahead

The 2025 Farming Life Awards was a fitting reminder of the strength and community spirit within Northern Ireland’s agriculture sector.

Eringold extends heartfelt congratulations to all of this year’s finalists and winners — especially the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award — and thanks Farming Life, Farm Week, and all event organisers for a fantastic evening celebrating the very best of local farming.
