Dairy lost a Lyon of a leader
When it comes to dairy leaders, Tom Lyon was a lion. However, Tom rarely professed it. Instead, he led by example and routinely advocated for farmers, for rural communities, and for public education through his own style of servant leadership.
As a teenage boy, I remember standing in line at the close of a co-op district meeting well past my bedtime on a school night just to garner a few moments with the gifted public speaker I had heard that evening. My father stood with me and eventually introduced us. I was most impressed by Tom’s gracious demeanor as he made the conversation about me, not him.
However, it was an unpopular decision as many households are living through a time of financial difficulty, due to the ongoing pandemic.
A British Gas spokesperson said: Ofgem announced a new price cap on February 5, we ve confirmed that we would move our SVT to the new Ofgem price cap level.
Tom Lyon, director of energy at Energy Helpline, said: News of this price rise couldn t come at a worse time for British Gas customers, after almost a year coping with higher energy bills due to lockdown restrictions. Although Ofgem has given a green light for price rises on default tariffs from April, energy suppliers are not obliged to hike the bills for hard-pressed consumers.
