Leo Group  - Title Sponsor of The Winter Droving 2024 Leo Group, owner and operator of Omega Proteins near Penrith, is looking forward to the Winter Droving in Penrith as this year's title sponsor. This spectacular annual event, taking place on Saturday, October 26, marks the start of winter and celebrates rural life in Cumbria with local food, entertainment, masquerade and a magical lantern procession. The Penrith Winter Droving Festival has not only established itself as a well-known and popular event, attracting visitors to the town from all over the UK, but also brings around £2 million into Penrith's economy each year. Reliant on local Sponsors Organised by Eden Arts, a not-for-profit organisation, the event depends on the support of local organisations and businesses. However, increasing costs in recent years have put the future of Winter Droving at risk, making Eden Arts more reliant than ever on local sponsorship.

Jane Brindle, Technical Advisor at Leo Group and first female chair of the Foodchain & Biomass Renewable Association (FABRA UK) since November last year, looks back on a busy year of changes: The Annual General Meeting in November marked the end of my first year as Chairman. It has been a very busy time, where did that year go? Looking back, it has been dominated by preparations for changes to Border Controls (and just when everyone is almost ready, they get postponed – start again!) and for the review of Best Available Techniques (BAT) for our industry. At times this role can be challenging – trying to get people to agree on a solution that suits everyone – or it can be painfully slow as you keep chasing Government Departments for updates. I will never get used to the ‘slower speed’ of Government compared to industry when

Omega Proteins Ltd, which is part of the Leo Group and operates an animal by-products processing plant to the west of Penrith, has submitted an application for planning permission to install a district heating system.

The construction of heat networks
