Welcoming Past Chairmen


It has been a tradition that Teignbridge District Council ackowledges the contribution made by it's former Chairmen. I was delighted to host this year's dinner held in the Long Room of Old Forde House and especially so this year as we celebrate the 400th Anniversary of this wonderful building. It was the foresight of Chairmen in the early days of Teignbridge that this historic house was restored to public ownership. We had a wonderful evening sharing remembered special occasions from the past. Old Forde House now hosts many events, including being a popular setting for Civil Weddings, as well as earning welcome income from management seminars, training events and conferences for the wider business community.

Pictured with us are Alderman Mary Strudwick, Tim Golder of Imerys and Viv Wilson MBE Teignmouth historian.
