Lincolnshire’s Women in Agriculture event back with a bang

Keynote speaker at this year’s lunch was adventurer Holly Budge, the founder of anti-poaching charity ‘How Many Elephants’.  Helen Clarke, who following the sudden death of her father in 2010, took over the management and the sale of her family’s 3,500 acre arable farm and Emily Norton, Head of Rural Research as Savills, were other topical speakers on the day.

The event was jointly sponsored and organised by chartered accountancy firm Forrester Boyd, real estate advisers Savills, law firm Shakespeare Martineau and the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society.

Forrester Boyd has been supporting and providing specialist accountancy services to the agriculture sector for over 85 years. With 6 offices throughout Lincolnshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire, Forrester Boyd has a team of advisers who not only specialise in serving the agriculture sector, but many have very close family connections in the sector.

Nicola said, “There has never been a more challenging time for farmers and land owners. Covid-19 and its wider impacts, the EU exit and climate change all add obstacles to a sector which is having to continually adapt and evolve.  We are therefore working closely with all our clients to ensure that they are fit for the future of farming today.”
