Deborah Clough

Deborah has served on the Percy Thomson Trust since 2020.  She joined the Trust due to a strong interest in the Arts and a belief in the value of the Percy Thomson Gallery and Arboretum as key assets to the Stratford Community.

A dairy farmer by profession, Deborah is married, with adult children and seven grandchildren.  Beyond farming, she has a wide range of interests, including a 45 year involvement in live theatre - both onstage and backstage - throughout Taranaki.

Deborah currently serves as Treasurer and Trustee for the Rotokare Scenic Reserve and is an original Trustee of the Central Taranaki Safe Trust.  She has also been actively involved with the Women's Institute at Maata and Mangatoki for over 30 years.

Having left school at the age of 16, Deborah continued her education while working, with her most recent accomplishment being the completion of the Fonterra Governance Development course.
