Mr Donaldson is also chair of the local organising committee, which is being put together to plan the event.

Expo organiser Euan Emslie said: "Hexham is an ideal location in the heart of a major suckler beef producing area which can be easily accessed from both north and south.

"The facilities at Hexham Mart are first-class and will provide an excellent venue for such a major event for the beef industry."
