Clifford Matthews

After a varied career, his final achievement was the realisation, as director of Sterling Suffolk Ltd., of the huge greenhouses at Great Blakenham. These are now a thriving business, currently growing vine tomatoes by hydroponics on a 5.6 hectare site - the area of 11 football pitches - employing about 50 people with plans for further expansion. 

He leaves a fantastic legacy for the people of Suffolk and will be greatly missed by his friends, colleagues and family.

Rest in peace, Cliff.
