Rural business support and funding advice

As Rural Business Development Manager, Will Dallimore is the first point of contact for rural businesses wanting advice, support and funding.

Will says: “Whatever your question, challenge, opportunity or experience is as a rural business, I am here to help and highlight the support available to you.

“This includes information on funding programmes such as the Farm Transformation Fund.

“Find support below and don’t hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or on 01494 927167.”
