A new acting show manager is leading this year's Devon County Show.

Lisa Moore was the assistant show manager for last year's show and replaces Sam Mackenzie-Green.

Chief executive officer of the Devon County Agricultural Association (DCAA),  Chris Skelton, said: "Lisa is one of the longest standing members of the Devon County Show team with 20 shows under her.

"This puts Lisa in a strong position. Her knowledge of the show is unparalleled, and we are extremely confident that she will do an excellent job in building on Sam’s achievements with a successful 2023 Devon County Show, which returns to its original May dates after two years, as the premier agricultural event in the south west."

Sam has been with the DCAA for the past four years and has been responsible for three shows, including one diligently executed during the pandemic in 2021 when most agricultural shows were cancelled.

Chris said: "Sam has been a huge asset to the organisation during her tenure. Her unrelenting enthusiasm, professionalism and commitment will be sorely missed.

"Despite the challenging circumstances in recent years and while the Westpoint arm of our organisation was unable to operate during the pandemic, she has been instrumental in achieving the DCAA’s charitable objectives by running three commercially successful events. We wish her every success in her new role."

She moves on to a business development position in Somerset.

Sam will continue in an advisory role supporting the Show team with planning and preparations for the May 2023 Devon County Show.
