He then qualified at Shuttleworth Agricultural College in Bedfordshire, before joining the family farm business. A former dairy farm, the business diversified into growing potatoes and producing beef and lamb, and employing around 50 local people.

The expansion of the Farm retail Business means the Farm now works primarily to supply the shop.

Additionally, he is a fellow of the Royal Agricultural Societies and currently President of Newark and Notts Agricultural society

• Sir Mark Spencer
• Robert Gilchrist, Aberdeen Angus Cattle Society
• Ben Harman, NBA Chair
• Joseph Keating, Co-op
• Philippa Wiltshire, Red Tractor
• Kent Bacus, NCBA
