“Muscle to Mind - Ensuring successful management”
 A one day conference - Wednesday 3rd December 2008

Full programme coming shortly

Farm and estate managers are employed by owners or tenants to make sure the farm runs efficiently and profitably.  The farmer or estate owner often also take on this role.  The role is a busy one but finding time to keep up to date with the latest regulations and current thinking is vital in order to undertake the responsibility of running the farm effectively.

Modern farming is in the spotlight.  Modern farm management is about monitoring, analysis, planning and action.  Cutting costs, increasing revenue and creating business efficiencies are just part of the huge role of the Farm and Estate Manager. 

The demands on the manager are increasing.  With no control over the climate and little over pricing it is vital that the manager controls the day to day running of the farm with smooth efficiency.  A well organised and managed structure will vastly improve the risk management options open to the farm and estate manager when times are hard.

With the role of the manager constantly evolving to take into account changing trends and the individual business needs, for one day only make it time to get off the tractor and into the office.  The conference offers a quick and effective route to compliance and how the changes affect you while also providing a fantastic networking opportunity with your peers and professional advisors.
