THE Lindsay Bell Austral- ian Egg Industry Award was created by Lindsay’s family in 2004 to recognise the out- standing contribution Lind- say Bell of Altona Hatchery, Western Australia made to the development of the mod- ern Australian egg industry.
Lindsay was deeply involved
in the egg industry as a produc- er, serving on many commit- tees and lobbying government to achieve recognition and im- prove the operating environ- ment of the industry.
It is awarded to people who have done outstanding work that has di- rectly benefitted a significant sec- tion of the Australian egg industry and indirectly the whole industry
and is a way of recognising indus- try leadership and achievement.
In addition, an award is pre- sented to the award winner’s family partner to recognise the support given to the winner.
