The Royal Veterinary College have appointed Lord Curry of Kirkharle as their new chairman, with his tenure due to commence from the 1st August 2012.

Lord Curry is both an experienced farmer and businessman; he was made a life peer in 2011 in recognition of his contribution to the development of agriculture and farming in the UK and founded the North Country Primestock in 1990, marketing prime cattle and sheep.

It is a great honour to be involved with such a highly respected and influential institution which has a critical role within the veterinary profession. I am very much looking forward to taking up the role."

Principal at the RVC, Professor Stuart Reid, said: "We are delighted to welcome Lord Curry on board as our new Chairman. His drive to boost and improve farming in the UK is something which we, as a College, are also passionate about and I know that his experience of working in both the public and commercial sectors will bring great value to the College as a whole."
