Biography

Graham graduated from Bristol in 1974, spending 15 years in mixed clinical practice in Somerset and then in Norfolk as a partner in a multicentre practice.

A brief role at the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food was followed by a 25-year career in technical and global leadership roles in the UK, Australia/ New Zealand, and Germany, culminating as Head of Bayer Animal Health (UK & Ireland) for 10 years prior to retirement.

He served ten years on the Board of the National Office of Animal Health (NOAH), with three years as Chair of the Board, receiving honorary life membership for services to the animal health industry.

He has consulted for international veterinary businesses and served as Non-Executive Chair at Premier Vet Group.

Since retirement in 2013 he has additionally provided business acumen to voluntary roles, including steering WikiVet to a sustainable home, and chairing the RCVS Knowledge Finance & General Purposes Committee.

In 2014 he joined the Board of Trustees of the grouping of the Veterinary Benevolent Fund (VBF), Veterinary Surgeons’ Health Support and Vet Helpline, contributing his management experience to its transition to the now globally recognised charity, Vetlife. As Treasurer, he guided it through the fiscal challenges of Covid-19 and, for three years as its President oversaw its extension of services and conducted a full revision of its articles, including the enabling of active membership by Registered Veterinary Nurses.
