What our friends say ....

AgriKids has presented at numerous Zurich customer and farm partnerevents and agricultural shows and has developed a social media following increasing the campaign’s reach by linking in with Zurich’s existing social following. In June of this year the programme will reach a momentous milestone educating 20,000 children about the importance of farm safety, exceeding all targets agreed with Zurich. The AgriKids message is getting across to the young farmers of the future in a very inspiring way and has helped Zurich support farm safety on a national level meeting one of its key internal CorporateSocial Responsibility objectives. The reach of the campaign has exceeded all of Zurich’s expectations and they have confirmed their desire to extend and enhance the partnership even further from 2020.
