Recalling Lord Plymouth, Michael Lawley, Chairman of Cooke & Arkwright said, “Lord Plymouth was a much respected figure in South Wales and beyond. His manner was always courteous and polite, and he worked to high standards of business behaviour, which are sadly not so prevalent these days. He was a shrewd and astute custodian of the Plymouth Estate, and always seemed to be very aware of his role and responsibilities in managing the Estate for future generations. He will be sadly missed by us all at Cooke & Arkwright.”
