…and just like buses, a second national award comes along! Hot on the heels of Jock Willmott’s success as the Farmers Weekly Arable Advisor of the Year, it is fantastic to share and celebrate that Alice Andrews has won the National Arable and Grassland Awards 2023 Young Agronomist of the Year! Huge congratulations Alice.

Alice’s Ceres Rural colleagues and clients know how brilliant she is with her drive and enthusiasm for all things farming. She is dedicated to ensuring her clients are always at the cutting edge of agronomy and in the best possible place. We like to think this is the ethos and one of the core values by which Ceres Rural operates, but it still needs the star quality that Alice possesses to be recognised in this way.

Alice, like many others in our capable team, has a bright future ahead of her which we look forward to supporting. We cannot wait to continue celebrating future success in the years to come and seeing her career reach new heights.

Congratulations Alice, thank you for all your hard work. This is a truly deserved award!
