Winner of the 2010 BOCM Pauls/BPC Poultry Man of the Year, James Hook, has been a leading light in the industry for many years. My mother started the P D Hook business in the 1950s, when the broiler sector was in its infancy. My father was milking cows and my mother started a small brooder house and hatchery in the stable to supply chicks to local farmers. My father then got out of milk in the 1960s, as he could see there was more money in poultry, and I came into the business in the 1970s, by whichtime we were producing 200,000 chicks a week.
