Another first for Geoff Davies

3/5/2009

Geoff Davies (1961-63) has become the first person in the United Kingdom’s Agricultural Engineers Association’s 134-year history to have been elected for a second term as President.

His re-election caps a fine beginning to 2009 with Geoff, the Managing Director of the massive Alama Group Europe, completing his Doctorate in Business Administration in February.

Interestingly, despite the gloom of the current global economic climate, farm incomes in Britain had increased 36% in 2008 with Dr Davies suggesting in his address to the AEA annual meeting that the situation should remain positive.

With agri-businesses looking to again fulfill the conventional role of food production and with top quality machinery needed to achieve the best results, AEA members ‘be cheerful’ he said. He told the annual gathering the key to providing ultra-productive and inherently safe and enduring reliable machinery lay with effective research and development.   

Dr Davies is a Trustee member of the Foundation.
