Those of you who know me will have noticed the grey hair is taking over and may wonder what Stewart is doing “blogging”, I am not sure myself but here goes!
This is the first on many entries to be carried on the new BIP website. I hope you like it and will contribute your thoughts, comments and ideas on a regular basis.
So to start, let me give you a quick résumé of myself so you will understand why I will write about certain subjects.
I have been working at BIP for over 11 years, initially joining as an Agricultural Project Manager – somehow I seem to have ended up as the MD! This wasn’t planned but I guess I don’t know when to keep my mouth shut. I have an agricultural background being a tenant farmer in Cornwall for almost 30 years mostly rearing sheep. Recently we’ve introduced New Zealand blood lines to build a flock that is easier to manage, has less foot rot, less worming need and will perform on grass alone.
I have other roles connected to both BIP and agriculture, these include director of farmer co-op CQLP, director of NFEA (the national enterprise network), and vice chair of the Greater Dartmoor Leaf Local Action Group
I take great pleasure in seeing rural businesses thrive, particularly when the BIP team has helped with training or advice and I’m always seeking the views of business owners to shape the BIP offer. Your comments and thoughts are always welcome.
