Our Members

President for 2020 – Steve Perryman

With a family farming background, Steve’s career has always been associated with farming and agriculture. From school, Steve completed an apprenticeship with a local machinery dealer then spent a number of years working on a dairy farm in the Middle East. On returning to the UK, Steve took a machinery sales position with Hamblys Ltd, a South West family run farm machinery business, progressing to sales manager then sales director for the company in 2009.

Hamblys take great pleasure in supporting local farming events, charities and the YFC, but in particular The Truro Primestock Show. 

Steve says: “With the show’s unique location in Truro City centre, it’s a pleasure to be part of this popular and well organised event.”  

Being brought up on The Roseland, Steve has always loved the country side and coastal views, and in his opinion there is nothing better than on a sunny day exploring our Cornish coastal paths.  One day he hopes to make it all the way around!
