FORMER Cumbria Euro MP Lord Inglewood has been appointed a non-executive director of Cumbria-based agriculture, food and engineering group Carr's.

His private interests include farming dairy and beef cattle, sheep and arable, and a directorship of the Pheasant Inn (Bassenthwaite Lake) Limited. Carr's chief executive Chris Holmes said the company looked forward to benefiting from the hereditary peer's wide experience, particularly of the EU and Westminster politics.
