Lower Odcombe, Somerset, Uk

My partner Helen and I acquired acquired a Plant Nursery & Farm Shop in the Village of Lower Odcombe near the Farm House at Townsend Farm we bought in 2017. Completely new area for me but very fulfilling providing a service to the local community. Supplying plants shrubs flowers and fresh produce. Focusing on locally grown fruit and vegetables and sustainability aiming to go as Plastic free as possible. Sadly a combination of Covid years, cost of living crisis and Landlord difficulties forced us to close.

I Founded Holistic in 1986 with Simon Powell after leaving Metier/Lockheed. Holistic was an early "Business Intelligence" player. We sold the company to Seagate Software in 1996 and I left a couple of years later as they were burying our product "Holos". Mistakenly in my view. I believe there are still some afficianados around the world and many of its features have never been replacated.
