Henry Plumb

15/04/2022


The Society is greatly saddened to hear of the death of Henry Plumb, Lord Plumb of Coleshill.  Henry had the Maxstoke herd of Longhorns and was often to be seen at the ringside of our sales at Worcester.

Henry was a farmer's son who went on to be President of the NFU in the 1970's and then was European Parliament President in the 1980's.  His spirit and resolve helped shape the agricultural industry and his determination to leave a lasting legacy resulted in the creation of The Henry Plumb Foundation which encourages and mentors the younger generation to engage with the agricultural industry.

The Society's thoughts are with Henry's family at this sad time.
