Richard specialises in farm management and strategic farm advice to improve productivity, sustainability and resilience. He also carries out the agronomy on his own 3,000 acre farm business in West Norfolk, where he has pioneered farm trials of various concepts and technologies.

He has undertaken several due diligence projects on large scale purchases and refinancing deals, in particular those relating to anaerobic digestion.

Richard is BASIS, FACTS, BETA and FAAV qualified and a Member of the Institute of Agricultural Management. He sits on committees for the local branches of the CAAV, IAgrM and GWCT and is the Chairman and store member at Fengrain.

His spare time is spent relaxing with his wife and three daughters, especially if that includes holidays in both the sun and snow, and is always keen to take part in or watch all sports.
