The team at Mastergen/Masterrind would like to express their deepest sympathy to the Mead family at this difficult time.

Derek was not only a customer, he was a great friend and ally. He was not only a character of conviction but also of great humour.
He was kind, generous and extremely loyal and we feel extremely lucky to have been able to spend as much time as we did with him.
He never missed an opportunity to come along with us to shows across Europe – and he never missed an opportunity to have a good debate…(and a boogie after a few steins)!!

We will miss him very much and he will leave a massive hole in the heart of the farming industry alongside all those that were lucky enough to know him.
