Diversification
More and more farmers are diversifying away from their traditional areas of business. This can include converting redundant farm buildings into offices or industrial units, letting fields for horse grazing, installing telecoms masts or removing agricultural ties from buildings.
We can offer you advice on these areas and put you in contact with other professionals to give you the right level of support to achieve your diversification aims.
