Upon leaving school I pursued a career at reaseheath agricultural college in Cheshire which led me to my passion for dairy farming. Twelve years on I still have that passion and enthusiasm that has widened my knowledge profusely. Having started off as an assistant herdsman at the age of 16 and working my way up throughout the years, I am always striving to further my career and knowledge within the dairy industry. Every day is a learning day.
