Having grown up on the family farm and with a keen interest in agriculture from a young age, Sam studied Agricultural Business Management at Reading University where he graduated in 2011 with a BSc (Hons).

Sam has joined the team at Mintridge Consulting to offer practical land advice. Having realised that the agricultural industry must go through a significant change in order to remain sustainable, Sam discovered his passion for assisting businesses to go through this transition whilst also remaining focussed on production. This is achieved through diversifying income streams to generate income from Natural Capital, as well as transition to Regenerative Agriculture.
Sam is also a Managing Director of Integrated Land Management. He works with the Landowners through the process from the creation of the Biodiversity Offset Management plan (BOMP) to the establishment and annual management.
