NSA appoints new chair of the board
The National Sheep Association (NSA) has announced that Peter Delbridge has been appointed chairman.
Delbridge, a sheep farmer from Devon, was elected chairman at the NSA board meeting on Wednesday 10th January, and will serve a term of three years in the role.
A fifth generation sheep farmer from Exmoor, Delbridge has served as NSA South West Region Trustee for the past six years, as well as being a a regional committee member and past regional Chairman of NSA South West Region.
He has previously served in a number of other roles, including being a founding member of Sheep Improvement Group and non-executive director of Mole Valley Farmers since 2008. He succeeds East Anglian sheep farmer Dan Phipps.
NSA chief executive Phil Stocker said: “As the chairmanship passes into the very reliable hands of Peter Delbridge, it is only right to extend our sincere thanks to Dan Phipps for his devotion to this role over the past three years.
“The challenges our sector face do not make for an easy ride, with an incredible amount of activity required of the NSA chair, Dan embraced this challenge just as we are certain Peter will also, who we very much look forward to working with over his term.”
Three other NSA trustees came to the end of their terms on the NSA board, with members giving thanks to Henry Dunn from Gloucestershire, Peter Myles from Angus and Tim Ward from Powys.
With Delbridge moving to chair of the board, NSA will now welcome four new trustees to the board over the next few months.
