The former chief executive of the National Pig Association (NPA) has been awarded an OBE in the first King’s Honours list.
Dr Zoe Leach, better known to many in the pig industry by her maiden name of Davies, was granted the honour in recognition of her services to the industry.
Initially joining the group in 2008, she became its first chief executive in 2014, a role she held until she joined the NFU as its Eastern regional director last summer.
