On behalf of all at the Ulster Farmers’ Union I would like to convey our deepest sympathies and condolences to Norman and the wider Fulton family.

I have known Jennifer for many years both as a professional colleague and friend. Jennifer worked very closely with UFU during this period and always took a pragmatic approach to bringing the farming community and environmental groupings closer together. On many occasions she both arranged and participated in several joint study visits with UFU representatives to locations throughout the UK and Ireland on a variety of issues of mutual interest. Jennifer also had the knack of seeding ideas and getting subsequent buy in from others. The current joint UWT/UFU initiative for a joint ‘peatlands officer’ is a real example of this coming to fruition and provides yet another tangible outcome of the legacy that Jennifer has left.

Life isn’t about when you enter or leave this world, it’s about what you have done in the time in between and Jennifer achieved a lot and made a real difference during her lifetime. She will be sadly missed by us all.
