Really delighted to launch Recce Rural, the trading name of Recce Rural Ltd.For the past 26 years I feel very fortunate to have worked on some of the great estates across the UK and am so very pleased to launch this new venture in 2021.Recce Rural will be focused on three main pillars of activity;1) To provide support to the Landed Estate and Institutional Landowning sector across a broad range of strategic activities from, "light touch" through to Non-Executive Directorships.2) To build on the early advancements in Natural Capital accounting and trading which I, as the principal of Recce Rural, have been working on since 2016. I have more to share in this regard shortly but suffice to say now is NatCap's moment.3) To acquire, on behalf of clients for which Recce Rural is retained, agricultural, mineral and strategic development land.In order to support the above over the past few months I am very pleased to have aligned Recce Rural with the very best providers of services which we do not currently offer in-house but are nevertheless mission critical to success in the rural sphere - in particularly Town and Country planning, tax planning, large data management, ecology services and information technology solutions.I look forward to sharing more via this portal as the business progresses but if you do have any queries in the meantime then do please let me know.

Camgrain is a farmer owned co-operative that stores grain in three strategic sites across the Midlands. With total storage in excess of 300,000 Tonnes and rising our capability to handle grain on this scale flows though in improved sale price and reduced storage costs. Financial returns improve as we capture more of the value chain though blending and cleaning of the product to the exact specification required by the consumer - in essence providing an ingredient rather a raw material. Couple this with efficient logistics and the best infrastructure and you begin to appreciate the reduced risk to physical operations - particularly in volatile weather conditions.
