At the 2022 Annual General Meeting I retired from my role as Chair of AHBIC.  It has been my privilege to serve the industry for around 34 years in various positions.

Thank you to all those who have helped me over the journey.  It is not a one man band.  There are many who provided support and information that eventually makes things happen.  It has always been my philosophy that there were many before me that kept the industry functioning and it was my role to carry on that legacy.  Now I pass the baton on.

I wish Stephen Targett and the new Executive all the best.  Also those who are on the AHBIC Council keep up your good work.  You are the conduit between AHBIC and the members that you represent.

No amount of thanks would be enough to thank my wife, Marion, for all the help she has been over the years.  She has allowed me to be able to go to industry meetings and kept our queen rearing business intact when I was away.
