Farm Business Innovation 2013
The show that provides farmers and landowners with a wealth of opportunities to make more money via alternative land uses.
Farm Business Innovation 2013 is almost upon us, and event organisers, Prysm Group already have a bumper crop of exhibitors and visitors. The show’s debut is well on track to fulfil its amazing potential with incredible support from the top names in diversification. With 120 exhibitors scheduled to take part in the Olympia London event, spaces are selling fast and Farm Business Innovation looks set to offer a bumper crop of eager visitors.
Those exhibitors cover every aspect of diversification, from offering office space or turning grazing land into glamping, to filling up a fishing lake and preparing a paintball arena. The country’s best land-based business companies have confirmed they will exhibit at the first ever Farm Business Innovation. Exhibitors include Clive Ellis Woodland Management; Artichouse, Finland’s leading log home manufacturers and exporters; John Lambe Associates, consultants to the leisure industry for planning, design and landscape; Russells Mobile Homes, the biggest mobile home and static caravan off site sales in the south; Sovereign Design Play Systems Ltd, children’s play equipment manufacturers; Technology Crops Ltd; Animal Housing Solutions; Anytime Booking; Clear Sky Safari Tents; and The Woodland Trust.
Join 3,000 other farmers and landowners for the biggest event that has ever been held in the UK to inform and assist those diversifying out of agriculture
Farmers, smallholders, land owners, estates and others with an interest in rural business have embraced the event and its ambition to benefit land-based business as a whole. Visitor registration is exceeding expectations at this early stage – and growing every day. Event Director Gary Hall says, “Everybody knows that farmers need to diversify, but few of them seem to know where to start. That’s why so many visitors have registered already; because we can offer them so many solutions under one roof. One day at our show could sort out the next 10 years of their business – or longer!”
The show floor will be packed with 3,000 visitors across the two days, drawn by the unique opportunity to hear first-hand from an unrivalled array of the very best keynote speakers. Already confirmed to speak are BBC The One Show’s Kate Beavan; Ian Burrows, Farmers Weekly’s Diversification Farmer Of The Year 2012; Clive Rich, The £10 Billion Negotiator; Charlie Forbes Adam, steward of Escrick Park Estate; Ian Butter, chartered surveyor and town planning consultant; Doug Richard, from BBC TV’s Dragons Den; and Alastair Sawday, broadsheet journalist, BBC Radio 4 pundit and holiday guide publisher.
As if this amazing list of keynote speakers wasn’t impressive enough, Farm Business Innovation also boasts 70 insightful seminars from diversification professionals who work in the sector every day, along with the most respected thought leaders from the world of business.
