Having recently graduated from Harper Adams University, my education and placement year on the Ragley Estate in Warwickshire has put me in good stead to deal with the challenges of professional practice as a Graduate Surveyor here in the North West.

Having lived in and around the Cotswolds and further south for most of my life this is hardly my home patch, but the rugged landscape drew me in and continues to excite me. I enjoy keeping fit and of a weekend you’d likely find me working my way through the Lancashire circular walks book. I’ve also started getting into fell running, with the Forest of Bowland and general moorland in the area proving too tempting for me to resist. As I work towards my RICS and CAAV qualifications, I hope to become increasingly able to advise and inform rural and agricultural people and business how best to handle their assets.
