Duncan Sinclair

President

Duncan's entire career has been livestock focused. The journey began at the Meat and Livestock Commission before his time at Waitrose and, currently, at MSD. He attended his first BCBC conference in Cambridge back in 1997, and for over 25 years it has been one of the first commitments in his calendar each year. Duncan has served on the BCBC committee and was privileged to be Club Chairman during 2011/2012. He has also served on several industry committees including Red Tractor, FAWC and BRC. In 2015 he became a Fellow of the Royal Agricultural Societies of the United Kingdom, and in 2019 a Fellow of the Institute of Agriculture Management.

In his spare time Duncan can often be found on a racecourse and has had several shares in racing syndicates over the years. The latest project is learning to train a gun dog, since Belle his black Labrador arrived during lockdown back in autumn 2020.

Duncan is humbled and honoured to become the latest President of the British Cattle Breeders Club, joining an elite group of distinguished individuals who have held this post over the years. He is really looking forward to supporting the BCBC committee build on the Club's solid credentials by attracting the very best speakers to inform and inspire us each year, but also to enjoy the spirit of fellowship and friendship which the Club is renowned for.
