Jim Jenkyn, who lives in Marden, held the post from 1978 until his retirement in 1981. He is also believed to be the first member of the City of Hereford Rotary Club to reach his century landmark. He is now an honorary member of the club. Mr Jenkyn was born in West Cornwall, just after the end of the Spanish flu pandemic and grew up on a small farm. He began his working life in 1937 as a telephonist and postal officer at Penzance post office before moving on to the Great Western travelling post office from Penzance to Plymouth. He survived a couple of hair-raising and potentially fatal incidents during those early years of World War Two, once being thrown against the curtain covering the open door by the movement of the train and on another occasion being marooned on the Brunel Bridge in Plymouth when the train came to a standstill.

Best known to the industry as the studio responsible for designing nearly all Princess motor yachts to hit the water since the 1970s, the Isle-of-Wight based Olesinski Design could never be accused of resting on its laurels. With its proprietary Olesinski Hull and Hydro Software already in use for 25 years, the company is now integrating a type of artificial intelligence (in the form of ‘genetic algorithms’) into its software in order to speed up its hull development process – and even to help with its layouts and 3D modelling. To meet this aim, Olesinskihas boosted its 29-person team with a new Research and Development department purely focused on artificial intelligence (AI), headed up by Bill Edwards.
