After graduating from the University of Reading in 2016 with a BSc (Hons) in Animal Science, I spent six years working with horses around the world.

I grew up on my grandparents small holding in Leicestershire and worked with horses after leaving school, but I soon realised that it was not going to be a long-term career, so at the age of 20 I retook my GCSE’s and then enrolled at Brooksby Agricultural College. I was lucky to be selected to […]
I am devoted to developing a great customer relationship and enjoy being out and about on farm. I am AAT qualified up to level 3 and am now studying level 4. After a busy week I go horse riding and take my dog on long walks.

Like many people these days, my career path has not been straightforward! I came to agriculture by way of archaeology, having studied the discipline for my undergraduate degree at Glasgow University. It was during this time that I recognised that you need to understand the past to create sustainable futures, in whatever walk of life […]
I bring a diverse background that bridges agriculture, marketing, project management, and finance. I hold an HND in Animal Science and a Dip DigM in Direct and Digital Marketing. Raised on a sheep farm with a stud of Welsh Ponies (Sections A–D), large selection of poultry and the odd cow, I developed a strong foundation […]

Testimonials
“Garry Kidner is our Promar farm business consultant, he works alongside us, formulating rations, preparing budget forecasts and monitoring business performance.

“Charlotte visits us once a month, to complete our VAT return for us. On this visit she ensures our accounts are up to date and accurate and prints out reports to help us to construct our forward cashflow plan. Charlotte also sends the information over to our Promar consultant Emma Thompson, who then uses the data to assist us with making management decisions, and to our accountant at the end of the year to build the base of our tax accounts. I would highly recommend Promar to anyone wanting to grow and develop their business.”

“Charlotte has been coming to us for the past 3 and a half years, she provides a highly efficient service, completing our VAT returns and year end accounts. After each monthly visit she sends the data over to our accountant so they are able to complete quarterly tax accounts. More recently Charlotte introduced us to Mark Roue who we now have as our consultant, helping us drive the business forward. Charlotte and Mark work closely together to ensure the visits are effective and that the relevant information is shared with each other.”

“We use Andrew as a sounding board for our business. He provides detailed financial assessments and projections for the business and this helps us to challenge and question our decision making at every opportunity. We would have no hesitation in recommending Andrew’s services to other farmers.”
