Emma
Emma grew up showing sheep at agricultural shows nationally and helping with the family haulage business. As a teenager, she qualified point-to-point horses and ran a pony-hire business alongside her studies.
A strong connection to the local community is something that has been passed down through generations of her family. With a background in team management and customer service, Emma understands the importance of building relationships and providing a personal touch.
Now living once again in the village where she grew up, Emma remains deeply connected to local life and is passionate about supporting the community she calls home.
