Editor's column: Farewell to Neil Shefferd, a real Bucks Herald legend!

This week a very sad thing is happening at The Bucks Herald.

After six years, much-loved and respected reporter Neil Shefferd is leaving us, to take up a job at an international sports website.

While we couldn’t be happier for Neil (a real sporting savant) and think the new role is a fabulous fit, we will very much miss having him here with us in the office.

It’s been wonderful for me to see Neil flourish from an unsure (but supremely enthusiastic) reporter, to a man who really knows exactly what he is doing, produces engaging copy, and has graduated to completing production pages on our sister titles in Buckingham and Banbury each week.

Neil is a true ‘on the ground’ reporter, and we will feel his loss, particularly as he was firmly our eyes and ears in Stewkley, where he is a very involved member of the community, taking part in many activities and clubs, I’m sure he’ll continue to tip us off!

So good luck to Neil, and we will all raise a glass to you at your leaving party this evening!
