Following a short but courageous battle with illness, Sue Cope, the chief executive of Holstein UK, has died.
Having worked for the Holstein UK Group for more than 25 years, Ms Cope took over as chief executive in 2018 and had been a driving force behind the business with her wealth of experience and extensive knowledge of the dairy sector.
Over the last five years, Ms Cope had been integral in future-proofing the society for the next generation.
Michael Smale, Holstein UK chair, said: Sue was highly respected within the industry and worked tirelessly towards the development of the Holstein UK Group for many years.
To Sues credit, the group has recently acquired new headquarters which the team will soon occupy. This will become just a small part of Sues legacy and demonstrates her dedication towards developing the group of businesses.
