Mr Bromhead said that John Baker had been a member of The Nationals since 1976 and was a prominent business owner in Wingham and well respected across the region.
"John is the owner of Lincoln Brickworks, a business that produces a wide range of bricks that are used all over Australia," Mr Bromhead said.
"In addition, John produces traditional hand-made bricks that are popular for old-style buildings and recently his company was selected to provide the bricks that were used in the restoration of a building in Clarence Street, Sydney.
"John is a long-term Nationals supporter and it was my very great pleasure to present John with his medal recognising nearly 40 years of membership of the party."
In accepting the honour John said he was proud of his achievement, but even more pleased with the work of the Nationals in regional NSW.
