IAN MACPHERSON, NFU Scotland/NFU Mutual's senior agent group secretary for Wigtownshire has hung up his boots after a staggering 38 years (and four months) in the job.
Ian’s tremendous service and phenomenal achievement was recognised at a branch AGM and event in the North West Castle, Stranraer, last Friday, attended by union president Andrew McCornick.
A new partnership in Stranraer will officially launch this month, with David Murchie taking over the position from Ian alongside Wilma Benson, who has been partner with Ian for almost 20 years.
