Involved in farming from early teens with a mixed arable and dairy background in Bedfordshire.

Trained and worked as an agricultural engineer from 1978-84

1984 -1995 Trials and farm management Velcourt Plc

In 1995 I joined Hutchinsons, taking on the role of technical manager 2 years later.

Since 2010 I focussed more and more of my time on the research and application of the cultural control elements of weed control and the effects on soil structure, soil health and increasingly the effects on crop nutrition and ultimate yield.

My role increasingly focusses on bringing multiple elements of agronomy and farm management together with predictive, measured and precision techniques.
