Congratulatory message from Managing Partner, Richard Means

Well, what a fantastic evening last night turned out to be. In addition to supporting all of the finalists and winners at the Farmers Weekly Awards, we are incredibly proud of our colleague and Partner, Jock Willmott, who last night was crowned Arable Adviser of the Year 2022. It could not be more deserved.

This award not only recognises his hard work and success, it is the product of years of dedication and commitment to his clients and colleagues alike. Jock has positioned himself as a leader in our rural industry, a fantastic agronomist and farming consultant, we know his clients count themselves so lucky to have him on their team, as we do here at Ceres Rural.

Jock is an inspiration to our young and ambitious team of farming consultants at Ceres Rural and he continues to help and support each individual strive for excellence, and hopefully to follow in his footsteps!

Jock, many congratulations and thank you.
