Brian Crosby Scholarship

Brian Crosby was a long-standing trustee of The David Colegrave Foundation, after being appointed in July 2002 and stood down as a trustee this year.

Brian grew up in the Northwest of England, near Altrincham, Greater Manchester. After leaving school, he joined his father at their family nursery, Old Laundry Nurseries in Timperley, where he started his successful career in horticulture.

Brian eventually took over the business from his father and was later joined by his two sons.

Brian is the former chairman of the British Bedding Plant Association.

Horticulture students from the Northwest or for those that are studying horticulture in this area.

Number of scholarships available?
