THE High Sheriff of Hampshire visited The Hampshire Court Hotel this morning to receive his second Covid vaccine. Phillip Sykes was given a warm welcome by staff and volunteers when he arrived in his formal attire to be given a dose of the Pfizer jab. The 66-year-old, who lives in Steventon, was met by his wife Caroline who is a GP at Camrose, Gillies, and Hackwood Partnership in Basingstoke, and who has been assisting with the vaccine rollout in the town. However, it was Ken Taylor who administered the vaccine for the Sheriff. Ken received more than 40 hours’ training to help with the vaccine rollout, having previously worked in finance for the NHS.
James Attrill is the second in his family to hold the prestigious position. James is a farmer and a partner at Merstone s BCM rural property specialists. He aims to spend his year highlighting mental health, especially in children and young people, and also supporting the emergency services.

There have been High Sheriffs for 1,000 years.
