Having grown up on a small Essex Farm I am used to most Farm tasks and operating heavy machinery. After completing an HND in Engineering in 2000 I went on to work in Aviation for 15 years, specialising in logistics, and setting up and running two of my own companies. I finished with Aviation 7 years ago and since then have been working on Various Farms. I am currently running a 200acre Organic farm with Longhorn Cattle, Native Breed Sheep, Pigs and Chickens. We are Higher Level Stewardship and are also involved in other conservation schemes such the Newt Conservation Partnership. I am as happy working in the office as I am out working livestock.
