“A few years ago it was all about adopting the latest technologies on-farm. Now, we have all come to realise that the difference between a “farming business” and a truly sustainable and profitable business is all about the quality of the people who work in that enterprise. Our role is to help farmers find the people and then put in place the leadership and systems that allow those people to reach their full potential”, Julie Gregson, AgriSpecialists
