Short biog
Family were all small mixed farmers so had a practical farming upbringing. Church farm ceased farming in 1988. The 175 acres in East Hertfordshire was set aside while studied BSC Agriculture at Reading University from 1985.

While at university started MotivAction plc with a £10 advert placed in a local newspaper. Since then it has grown into £15 million turnover business delivering a wide range of products and services including events, communications, motivation and team building, and it still runs from Church Farm. Over the years, have become an Alumnus of the Harvard Business School OPM course, has got various entrepreneurial awards and has invented human-table-football.

In 2008 re-started Church Farm as a prototype, mixed farm, producing food, and acting as multi service centre. The intention was to farm the family land again, to make it work by feeding people, and in doing so to create systems and enterprise models which could transform farming and how we feed ourselves in an uncertain and dangerous world. Together with others am forming the Agrarian Renaissance – a movement to connect people, land and food and devise replicable systems and social franchises for an ecologically based farming future.
