This marked my return from the REEDNet project (see below) to a mixture of teaching and research in rural land management at Harper Adams, focussing on valuation and rural estate management, culminating in my retirement on 30 September 2018.

Harper Adams University College

Specialised rural professional and business training and development for agriculture, land management and the rural economy.We worked with a range of rural employers in the development of novel approaches to rural education, through REEDNet's mission to transform rural education. This encompassed graduate training for the fresh produce industry in the form of the MDS Graduate Programme, professional training for aspiring rural chartered surveyors at undergraduate, postgraduate and postqualification (cpd) stages, animal health and medicines training (AMTRA), agricultural chemical certification schemes (BASIS), social care supervision and the development of novel forms of educational accreditation for work based research and training. We were one of the few schemes to achieve the targets set by the Higher Education Funding Council, building rapidly over 3 years to the equivalent of over 700 full time students - 4,000 plus actual people.
