Our rural consultancy team is growing

Emily joins Rural Solutions from her previous role as Rural Surveyor and National Tourism Adviser at the Country Land and Business Association (CLA), where she advised rural businesses on planning, diversification and rural tourism policy. As part of her role with the CLA, Emily worked as the lead on national rural tourism, liaising with other stakeholder groups to influence policies impacting the tourism industry.

In her new role as a Consultant, based from our head office in Skipton, North Yorkshire, Emily will work with the wider rural consultancy team to advise clients across the UK on options for the development and diversification of their rural land and property assets.

Sally Ormiston, Director at Rural Solutions, said: “Emily’s experience, working for a national organisation within the rural land sector, will be an asset to our nationwide client base at a time when strategic advice is more crucial than ever amid an evolving rural development landscape. Our team continues to grow as we respond to client demand for advice on the diversification of rural estates and assets.”

Emily added: “This role is a natural progression for me and will enable me to utilise the experience I gained in my former position advising CLA members across the country. Back in 2023, I undertook a week’s work experience with the Rural Solutions team, gaining an early appreciation of the organisation’s strong team ethos and pragmatic approach to rural consultancy. I am delighted to now be returning to the business as a Consultant."

In the Consulting team, Emily will be working alongside Associate Directors Emily Leader, Nicky Witchell and Rich Mills.
