With farming in his blood, Phillip graduated from Harper Adams University in 2013 with a degree in Agriculture with Crop Management.

He has a breadth of expertise, drawing on his practical farming experience and knowledge from his previous farm consultancy role in East Anglia. Phillip has previously specialised in a variety of grant funding schemes for rural businesses across England, alongside BPS, Environmental Stewardships, and providing retained consultancy for a range of farming businesses.

Outside of work, Phillip enjoys outdoor activities and being out in the countryside as much as possible. He can often be found helping out at his home farm in Cambridgeshire.
