On Friday evening, we gathered at The Courtyard in Oswestry to celebrate 20 years of trading. What a milestone it was to share with so many of the people who have been part of our journey.

To everyone who joined us, thank you. It was a brilliant evening with good company and conversation, and a real reminder of how much the relationships we've built over the years mean to us.

We'd also like to extend a special thank you to our clients Simon and Tig, who so generously opened The Courtyard for the occasion. It's a wonderful space and made the evening all the more memorable.

Here's to the next 20!

The independent Farming Profitability Review 2025 published today, led by former NFU president Baroness Minette Batters, sets out recommendations to strengthen farm business resilience in England. The review highlights the sector's potential as central to the country's economic renewal. As rural surveyors, we're encouraged by the positive direction this sets for our farming clients.

The review's 57 recommendations include:

*Growing British brand - 30% export growth target by 2030

*SFI scheme in 2026 that builds resilience and is linked to food production for active farmers

*New FARM partnership (Food Agriculture Rural Matters) between government, industry and farmers

*Education of children through National Curriculum changes to provide a pathway for future careers in food and farming

*Planning reform to unlock farm infrastructure - reservoirs, renewables, livestock buildings

*Private finance opportunities for nature recovery through farmer-led groups

*Linking farm payments to food production and resilience

*Stronger tenant farmer protections

Recognition that farmers want profitable businesses. The Government pledges to work in partnership with the industry with a 25-year Farming Roadmap will follow next year setting out the long-term direction for farming.
