Kate Holborow has been sworn in as the new High Sheriff of Cornwall, taking up the reins from John Willis who has held the office for the last year. The swearing-in took place this weekend with a small ceremony in the garden of her home in Ladock. 

“It’s a huge honour and a privilege to be offered the chance to serve and give something back to Cornwall,” Kate comments.  “In these unprecedented days, I am hoping that I can give support behind the scenes and recognition not only to our valiant emergency services but also to all those groups and individuals doing such pivotal charitable and voluntary work in our communities.”

Kate, who lives in Ladock with her husband Simon, is also a Deputy Lieutenant of Cornwall.  She runs the Truro-based communications agency, Wild West, sits on the board of the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce and is co-chair of The Cornwall Christmas Fair at Eden.  She also sits on the panel for Young & Talented Cornwall, The Lord Lieutenant’s Fund.
