About me

I grew up on a mixed arable and beef farm in Suffolk. Following a degree in Chemistry from the University of Bristol, I qualified as a lawyer and practiced as a solicitor between 2005 and 2023 advising farms, estates, institutions, charities and rural business owners on all aspects of their business and family affairs including family farm succession. I am also an accredited mediator and currently studying to become an arbitrator. I have a wealth of practical, professional and personal experience of all sorts of farms, estates and rural businesses and can quickly understand the challenges and opportunities to help your rural business grow and deliver for you.
