Chartered surveyors Berrys has appointed Northamptonshire man
George Stanley as a graduate practitioner to expand the rural
business department at Kettering.
George, 24, joins the firm with an extensive knowledge of
agriculture both practical and academic having worked on farm to
help fund his degree in History studied at the University of Wales
and MSc in Agriculture and Farm Management gained at Harper Adams
University College.
His full time appointment follows a six month internship at
Kettering and he will be working alongside Jon Stables and James
Fulton, helping to deliver the farm management, agricultural and
rural land use consultancy aspects of the business.
George comes from a farming background and has lived in
Northamptonshire for the last 16 years. He went to school at
Guilsborough Secondary school before moving to Brooke House College
in Market Harborough to study his A levels. This international
college introduced him to other cultures and inspired him to travel
through India, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong and Singapore which helped him
to appreciate the environment and fortune enjoyed in the UK.
After gaining a degree in History at The University of Wales,
Swansea, he decided to change direction and follow his
interest in agriculture and he completed an MSc in Agriculture and
Farm Management at Harper Adams University College.
"During the course I became particularly interested in two key
areas - crop establishment and commodities trading as a risk
management strategy for farmers, the latter becoming the subject of
my dissertation within the geographic focus of Northamptonshire and
the surrounding counties," he said.
George is a keen rugby supporter having played at a high level
at university before an injury to the right side of his body put
paid to his days on the pitch. He also enjoys fly fishing and
shooting.
"George brings with him a wealth of practical experience,
knowledge and enthusiasm and we look forward to working with him,"
said Jon Stables, a corporate partner with Berrys at Kettering
.
