It has been a sad year for Derek Lovejoy’s old practice to lose two of its principal players Geoffrey Collens and now John Whalley, in a matter of months.  It is sad loss for the Landscape Institute also, as John Whalley was someone who never stopped being engaged with the Institute and who never forgot his role and responsibility as a past president.  John was many things but above all he was a people person who lived his life and work to the full, and based in Lancashire, he actively championed the development and growth of regional Britain throughout his professional life.
