Sad news of the death of Professor Nigel Curry

A much-valued trustee of GRCC from 2002 to 2013

It is with great sadness that we have learned of the recent death of our ex-trustee Professor Nigel Curry.

“We were deeply shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of former GRCC trustee and friend, Nigel Curry," said GRCC CEO Barbara Piranty. "Nigel was a driving force on our Board of Trustees for eleven years, from 2002 to 2013, and was also the founder of the CCRI (Countryside and Community Research Unit) in 1986. His kindness and his passion for rural issues will not be forgotten."
