A leading figure in northern Lincolnshire’s agricultural community has passed away.
Third generation chairman of farming machinery specialists Peacock & Binnington, Michael Peacock, has died, just a few weeks short of his 90th birthday.
He joined the Brigg headquartered business co-founded by his grandfather in 1957, taking over from his father as managing director in 1968. He became chairman around the turn of the century, and was made life president last month as son Nick, a practising barrister, took the reins.
