Moredun Fellow awarded MBE

Congratulations to Moredun Fellow David Henderson, who was awarded an MBE in the Queens New Years Honours List for his services to animal welfare.

David began his career as a shepherd before qualifying as a veterinary surgeon from the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, University of Edinburgh. He joined Moredun as Head of the Division of Clinical Studies & Director of Farms and played a pivotal role in the development of the farm accommodation at Pentlands Science Park before retiring in 1999. He was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the Moredun Foundation in 2007.

John Ross, Chairman of the Moredun Foundation, was delighted by the news. He commented, “The livestock industry has undoubtedly benefited from David’s knowledge and expertise over the years, however Moredun and its members has also benefited as David spoke at countless sheep health meetings and events throughout the UK whilst working at Moredun, and since retiring.”
