I had the privilege of attending the Agricultural Business Management Course held in November 2025 by the Worshipful Company of Farmers. This was something I had wanted to do for years and turning 40 this year gave me the impetus to apply. A very intense 2 weeks followed which allowed me the opportunity to spend time away from the farm and think about my future and that of the farm business.
The funding from the Trafford Fund helped me financially and in turn I am grateful to be able to speak up in support of both the Trafford Fund and the Course in general.
I would also like to support and cajole anyone that is thinking about this course to apply, and hopefully be able to create a great network from all round the world to be able to share knowledge and inspire each other on our own separate paths in farming.
