Who should attend?

• Members in practice supporting farming or agriculture sector clients
• Finance directors and senior finance professionals working in businesses operating in and supporting the sector

Our sector insight group, aimed at members advising or working in the farming & rural sector, meets virtually and provides a forum to connect you with a network of fellow professionals across the South West and Solent region.

Why should I attend?

All sessions are confidential, allowing participants the opportunity for open discussion, to seek advice on common issues and to pose your questions to like-minded and supportive fellow professionals working across the sector.

Whilst there is typically no set agenda for these meetings, unless by delegate request, the meetings are facilitated, with all participants encouraged to take an active part in the conversation, to bring their ideas to the session and to contribute to the setting of topics for discussion, which have previously focussed on:

• Outlook for the sector; trends, opportunities, and challenges
• Latest sector statistics & analysis
• Current sector performance
• Contract farming arrangements
• Land registry issues
• Labour & staffing
• Financial management
• Tax, including super-deduction & tax breaks
• ESG reporting for the sector
• Sustainability & environment responsibilities
• Succession planning
• Supply chain management
• Distribution and fuel & transportation costs
• Contract management

If you would like to bring specific items to the table for discussion, delegates should send their requests for the event organiser in advance.
