Craig Brough, the head of Hopes Land Agency at Wigton, has been elected chairman of the Northumbria and Cumbria branch of the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers (CAAV).
The election took place at the branch’s 102nd annual meeting at Langley Castle, near Hexham, where Craig was elected for the forthcoming year.
“The CAAV provides excellent support and advice to rural professionals and it is an honour to chair the branch this year,” he said.
As part of the meeting, Craig organised a charity raffle that raised £455 for Marie Curie and Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity.
The branch provides training to aspiring land agents in the region and the meeting was told it had been pleasing again to see six students reaching fellowship of the association following their exams in November.
