Frank Arden CBE (1915-1979)
Frank Arden was a legend in his own lifetime. He established a farming business in North Lincolnshire regarded as a showpiece for progress in agriculture. Throughout his career he continually sought new challenges and was always adaptable in his approach to meet market demands. His vision and enterprise were rooted in extensive travel and the ability to embrace new technology. The Frank Arden Memorial Award was instigated by his family to continue to share his principles and passion for agriculture with others in the industry.
