Andy Guy Consulting

One of the challenges of being self employed is keeping up with CPD. I recently spent 3 days on a course entitled "Creating Engaging Videos for Marketing" at Nottm Trent Uni. I'm hoping to improve the quality of my social media so feel free to comment with constructive advice if you think I need it!

The 2025 @Groundswellaguk festival didn't disappoint! My first time exhibiting was well received and I met dozens of people, made new friends and, hopefully, built relationships with some new clients. Not to mention the great street food, beers and ciders which helped too! What a great event!

Whether you're trying to improve the sustainability of your farming business for your own benefit or you're being asked for it by your retail customer, I am ideally placed to help you get the best from #IFM and #LEAFMarque. Talk to me

or call me?

It's been all go, lately! There're brand new services available, designed in response to requests for help from farmers.
This is about helping a farming family identify the right person or people to take over the business, provide them with the skills and experience they'll need

resources are beginning to arrive ahead of Groundswell, next week. It's getting a little bit exciting because this will be the first time I have exhibited at an event to promote my own Sustainable Farming Consultancy. If you're there, please call in and say hello!

There's been lots going on, behind the scenes in the Andy Guy Consulting office! There's a shiny new #website to replace the old one. 15 years old might as well be a dinosaur! Theres lots going on on the Socials too! www.andyguyconsulting.co.uk/about

I'm excited to tell you that I will be exhibiting at Groundswell 2025 to promote my services which are designed to help farmers improve the sustainability and resilience of their businesses. It would be great to see you for a chat. Comment if you’re going too?

It’s a beautiful morning for the first day at @CerealsEvent and I’m looking forward to a packed couple of days of learning and meeting people! If anyone wants to have a catch-up just drop me a message! #backbritishfarming #sustainablefarming

It was great to meet up with some of the movers and shakers in the Succession Alliance to make plans for our activities over the coming months…. There’s going to be so many exciting events, workshops and activity all designed to raise the profile of Family Farm Succession!

Here’s my chat with @MTF_podcast & Amy Fry. Amy & I are among the founders of the @farm_succession Succession Alliance, a group of farm succession specialists who decided we needed to try something different to get farming families talking. youtu.be/VsrYR7WdSds?si… via @YouTube

After a great day at the @isleofwightfarmingconference I’m onboard the @wightlinkferry ferry. A well planned and informative event which attracted a sell-out crowd of farmers. It was worth every minute and a privilege to be invited to speak. #backbritishfarming🇬🇧 #sustainablefoodandfarming @robynmunt

The #IsleofWight farming community are gathering for the 2025 Isle of Wight Farming Conference. There’s a real buzz in the room on a bright spring morning at @Eastaftonfarm #SustainableFarming #farminguk #backbritishfarming

I’m pleased to be one of the founding members of @farm_succession The Succession Alliance. While managing #IHT and enacting the necessary legal instruments are vital, nothing can be achieved without the family discussing where the business is going.

I’m driving down to the #isleofwight on 26th Feb for the #IOWfarmingconference2025. I wonder whether there are any farmers along the way who fancy a chat about sustainable farming and their business or how to talk about family farm succession. FOC except for a nice cup of coffee! #100cupsofcoffee

The themes of the #lincsfarmingconference2025 is so aligned to the work that I do, I could almost’ve written the agenda! Helping #newentrants onto the farming ladder, facilitating family meetings & planning farm business succession, farming sustainability & #regenerativefarming

There're many things I'm passionate about. I'm passionate about #sustainablefarming & I love to #givealittleback by teaching farm business modules at NTU. I like to #walkthetalk & I sometimes cycle into Brack'. I'm not willing to brave the weather but it's refreshing to cycle in on a bright morning.

What a thought provoking, informative and inspiring day I’ve had at the LEAF Conference in London, today. Highlights included Dr Douglas Gurr from the Natural History Museum talking about Climate Change and Nick Evans from Oxbury Bank explaining how his business is offering discounts to LEAF farmers

Well, what an amazing couple of days at #ofc25 the Oxford Farming Conference! Some inspiring speakers and fantastic conversations not to mention the surroundings which were beautiful. A day all about farming policy and the science followed by a second filled with inspiration and passion.

I’m travelling down to the @oxfordfarming conference for my first visit. Wondering whether anyone is driving through Nottinghamshire on their way down on 8th Jan and would be willing to share a car? Happy to contribute towards fuel. DM if interested

Trying to keep the conversation with the consumers, in Newark, positive but encourage them to write to their MPs, I helped local farmers give away carrots and hay for the reindeer to nibble on Christmas Eve. Great support from passers by. #backbritishfarming #sustainablefarming #stopthefarmtax

Ive been invited to join a panel at the Isle of Wight Farming conference to discuss the changing landscape of Farm Support and how farm businesses can maintain or improve the sustainability of their farms. Could be an interesting session!

I’m often asked where I live & whether I can provide my sustainable farming advice services to farmers across the UK. I live in Nottinghamshire, near to the A1, M1 and A46 which give me great access to the road networks & allows me to travel anywhere. The scratch map shows some of my recent clients.

A small holding for a start-up business? @Warwickshire_CC are letting a farmstead and adjoining land in two lots and it might suit a new entrant or a grazier looking to consolidate? You’d need a plan though. Perhaps I can help? I’ve worn the new-entrant wellies & know the feeling

With farmers reeling from the announcements in the Budget, last week, perhaps it’s time to have a conversation about succession? Many families find this a painful topic to broach so employing the services of an experienced & fully trained facilitator might be the answer for you?
