NEW PRESIDENT FOR HANBURY COUNTRYSIDE SHOW
Ian Few, Managing Director of luxury marquee firm, Fews, has been appointed President of the Hanbury Countryside Show.
Mr. Few, who has been a passionate advocate of the long-running Worcestershire event for many years, succeeds outgoing President, Worcestershire farmer John Evans, who retired from the role earlier this year.
He brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience gleaned from a long-standing involvement in the events industry, at the helm of the UK’s leading provider of award-winning event marquees, temporary buildings and structures.
Ted Beale, speaking for the Show Society’s Directors said: “We are delighted to welcome Ian to the Hanbury team, and know that he will be a great support to the Show as we endeavour to develop and grow it further.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank John, for his enthusiasm, expertise and steadfast commitment over the years.”
Mr. Few said he was very pleased to be taking on the role of President and was looking forward to the 78th Hanbury Countryside Show this year.
“This event is often described as a show for the community, run by the community, and that is very true. It’s a unique place, where friendships are forged and rekindled, and people meet up to socialise and do business.
I am very happy to be playing a bigger part in its organisation from 2025.”
