Father & Son Awarded
Rupert Chalmers was a founder of the British Turkey Federation in 1951 and a pioneer of the British Turkey Industry. In 1977, after his death, the Rupert Chalmers Award was created for “Outstanding contribution and commitment to the turkey industry over a significant period.” My father Derek Kelly, received the award in 1995, and myself in 2007. We are the only father and son to be given this award.
