Welcome to the Spring Edition of our The Inside Track Newsletter
Welcome to the Spring Edition of our Inside Track Newsletter
Now that the Winter months are behind us, hours of daylight are increasingly longer which means that Spring is finally here, we can start to think about the year ahead and what we want to achieve.
With the continued news headlines of the events between Ukraine and Russia, agriculture is undoubtedly going to experience further uncertainties in commodity market prices with Russia being the world’s largest wheat exporter as well as the UK being highly reliant on Russia for fertilisers. Whilst these global issues might be at the forefront of your mind, let’s put these aside for a moment and think about what you do have control of and that is your future.
The past two years have been a challenge for us all and sometimes looking ahead can be daunting, but rest assured we are here to help. In this edition we talk about succession planning and the importance of timing and Mark gives us an insight into his personal journey in the agricultural sector and some life lessons he has learnt along the way.
As always, should you need our support please do contact us.
