REASEHEATH College has been praised by HRH the Prince of Wales for its role in the continuing regeneration of Pakistan.

Reaseheath’s director of business and marketing, Margaret Bardsley, and representatives from Nestle head offices in Switzerland, Pakistan and the UK, for which Reaseheath’s agriculture department is the UK training partner of, were thanked by Prince Charles for their support of the Pakistani dairy industry at a gala dinner in London.

The dinner was held to mark the success of the Pakistan Recovery Fund, of which the Prince is Patron.

Nestle Pakistan initially donated millions of pounds worth of aid for emergency rations and has continued to develop and support the dairy industry throughout the country.

Reaseheath has worked with the company to provide bespoke training in advanced dairy management.

It is hoped that the training, which encompassed good practice from the UK dairy industry, will help build a better future for farmers and improve the local economy.

Speaking at the gala dinner, which was held in the Natural History Museum, Prince Charles expressed his heartfelt thanks to all companies and individuals involved in the continuing efforts to help Pakistan. He was introduced to all his guests including Margaret.

She said: “It was a great honour to meet Prince Charles. He is extremely knowledgeable about the issues facing Pakistan, particularly within the agricultural and dairy sector. Both Nestle and Reaseheath College are committed to continuing to help support farmers and their families in Pakistan.”
