Membership Team

Our team are dedicated to helping you get the most out of your membership and ensuring you get the best value for money.

Caroline de Feyter

Account Manager

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.

Hannah Stainsby

Member Services Assistant

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.

Liz Osborne

Member Services Assistant

‘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.

Paul Molloy

Business Development Manager

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.

Louis Clabburn

Head of Member Services

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’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.
