I enjoy the variety that working at AF brings, with no two days the same. As an Account Manager I am here to assist our Members in getting the very best from their membership.
My background is arable farming and horses, which led me onto the Royal Agricultural University where I studied International Equine & Agricultural Business Management. I’ve since worked within various roles in the sector, from crop trials to rural insurance. My role at AF enables me to use my previous experience when talking to Members, to understand their farming enterprises whilst demonstrating how AF can help save them time and money.
My unique and diverse career history means I can help Members in a variety of ways and bring a fresh, positive approach to their needs.
With a versatile background spanning various customer-facing sectors, I’ve gathered invaluable experience in industries ranging from board game distribution to media production, and even dog grooming. My adaptable skill set and passion for delivering memorable service have been an asset since I joined AF in April 2023, and I look forward to building relationships and working behind the scenes to help streamline AF and positively impact Members’ experiences.
‘You never stop learning’, this has not been more true since I joined AF in February 2023. I previously worked in Crop Protection but am now a keen new addition to your Membership Team.
I am from an Agricultural background, my family has been involved in the agricultural sector for hundreds of years. Before AF I have previous experience working on arable and dairy farms. I graduated in 2020 with a FdSc in Agricultural Management.
I enjoy speaking with every Member and getting them the best service that I can.
Tasked with bringing on new farming and rural business Members, my aim is to deliver great customer service to our Members and add as much value to your membership as possible.
As well as a comprehensive knowledge of the products and services AF procures (such as telecoms, fuels, energy, and vehicles) I like to think I deliver a fantastic experience to our Members each and every time we interact. You need to trust you’re getting the right product or service, at the right time, at the right price from your AF team. As well as a listening ear, I’ll bring my ‘can do’ attitude to my new role and will work hard to build trust and forge a strong professional relationship with every Member I meet.
Through my career, family and industry connections, I understand first-hand the challenges, changes and opportunities farmers face and enjoy helping the AF Members navigate these.
I have a poultry, dairy and arable farming background and joined the AF Group in 2011. I have previously headed up the Commercial and Marketing function of a multiple award winning social enterprise and worked in New York and London for a technology consulting company.
As Head of Member Services I draw my personal and professional experience together to find new and improved ways to help Members to understand how AF works, how it could help their business and save them time so they can get on with their farming.
I joined AF in 2004 and have extensive knowledge of the farming industry as I come from a farming background.
I have previously worked at one of the largest law firms and am qualified within the motor trade. I have always worked within customer service roles which is why I love speaking to so many different Members every day.
I am passionate about working with people to solve their business issues as well as showcasing to farmers the benefits of AF membership.
I have worked within customer facing environments as an account manager for over 15 years and have been with the membership team here at AF since 2016. My role sees me engage with all types of farm businesses throughout the country, helping Members and prospective Members to understand how AF can help them, their staff, and ultimately their business.
I’ve worked in many customer facing roles during my career, and strongly believe that providing excellent customer service at all times leads to solid customer relationships and establishing trust.
I joined AF in 2010 and have worked in a variety of Member facing roles within the business. My administrative background, positive attitude, strong efficiency skills and in-depth knowledge of how AF works has led me to manage the Member Services team. Our priority is to ensure we deliver first class customer service, exceed our Members’ expectations, and build lasting relationships with our Members.
