FPC’s Nigel Jenney Recognised for Championing Fresh Produce Sector

Being named in the HortWeek Power List 2025 is a mark of influence and impact across horticulture and fresh produce. For Nigel Jenney, Chief Executive of the Fresh Produce Consortium (FPC), it is recognition not only of his own leadership but also of the organisation he has helped transform into the authoritative voice of the UK’s fresh produce, cut flowers and plants industry.

Jenney has consistently positioned FPC at the forefront of the sector, spearheading campaigns that tackle the most pressing challenges facing growers, importers and exporters. From calling out the inefficiencies and costs of the UK’s post-Brexit border regime, to securing easements on sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) checks, FPC has ensured that the interests of its members are heard at the highest levels of government.

These achievements are not just policy wins—they directly protect margins, safeguard supply, and ensure the industry remains competitive.

At the heart of Jenney’s success is his belief in teamwork. He is the first to emphasise that FPC’s strength lies in the dedication of a skilled, committed staff who work tirelessly across policy, technical affairs, communications and events.

Their collaborative efforts have built the consortium’s reputation as a trusted partner and advocate, delivering guidance, forging partnerships and hosting landmark events such as the FPC Fresh Awards.

Jenney is proud that under his leadership FPC has become much more than a trade body—it is a powerful and credible industry voice.

By uniting its members and delivering for them in practice as well as in policy, FPC continues to demonstrate why it stands at the heart of the fresh produce, cut flowers and plants sector in the UK.
