Ben Wightman has been involved with the agricultural industry for over 40 years.

Key posts have included managing a large farm in Herefordshire, responsible for 600 acres, cereals and hops. This was followed by managing Henley Manor Farm for ICI. From Henley Manor, Ben moved to manage the farm associated with Yeo Valley yogurt, near Bristol and following that, he managed 2,500 acres for Hanford Farms, including 400 acres of land in organic conversion.
