WELCOME to a new series of Hereford Times audio interviews.
Leading county personalities will be speaking to businesswoman Jo Hilditch – known to many as the managing director of White Heron Drinks, of Lyonshall, but who is also the new High Sheriff of Herefordshire.
In our first interview Jo talks to Trish Thomas, her predecessor as high sheriff.
Mrs Thomas has lived in the county for many years and is married to Richie.
In 1989 they took on a small diversification project on the family farm. From tiny beginnings they grew the business, which is now Thomas Panels and Profiles based in Leominster.
Other guest in our series include Vince McNally, boxing coach; Ben Andrews, a farmer raising the profile of gay people in farming; Quentin Letts, leading journalist and parliamentary sketch writer; Suzanne Shaw, deputy chief executive of Shaw Healthcare, and Kate Bingham, former UK Vaccines tsar who is married to Herefordshire MP Jesse Norman.
