Growing up on a diverse farm in Yorkshire shaped my passion for connecting people across food, farming and horticulture. After a career in farm advisory and commercial roles, I was awarded a 2022 Nuffield Farming Scholarship, which became the catalyst for founding Twocan Mentoring.
Twocan was created as a direct result of my Nuffield study, with the aim of breaking down silos and empowering individuals through mentoring, leadership and collaboration. I’m incredibly grateful to the John Oldacre Foundation for sponsoring my scholarship and to the Frank Parkinson Agricultural Trust for supporting the pilot mentoring project that helped bring Twocan to life.

Study Overview
Mentoring and seeking outside views on family farming businesses is often put to the bottom of any to-do list however is this where it should sit?
As part of my study, I will look for positive and negative case studies both within agriculture and other industries. Assessing the impact on the individuals (mentors and mentees), their businesses and the wider community will ensure an all-inclusive approach to this study.
