I first became interested in farming as a teenager, doing odd jobs on a smallholding. Soon I became hooked and by the time I was 16 I was helping on a local dairy farm and applied to study agriculture at college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I took an FdSc in dairy herd management, followed by a BSc in agribusiness. Then progressed to managing a 500-cow herd in North Yorkshire. Here, I learned valuable lessons about building and motivating teams, including the importance of good mentoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After helping to devise and execute an expansion plan for the farm, I decided that I wanted to focus on business planning and strategy. That is why I joined Promar International, in March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I work collaboratively with my clients to identify opportunities that we gather from a farm\u2019s data. For me, technical and business efficiency go together. I strongly believe that every farm business, no matter how successful, has the potential to improve. I also believe that we in the farming industry can learn from the wider business community, and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Above all, my love for British farming and agriculture drives me in my role. I strongly believe that the future of food production and climate security lies in the collective hands of our industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I live on a dairy farm in Newark with my fianc\u00e9e, who is the assistant manager of a 650 split block, calving cows. Away from farming we love travelling and our aim is to visit every country in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
