The award, which aims recognise the valuable contribution made by Cornwall’s farm contractors to the local farming economy, will be sponsored by Francis Clark with Winter Rule.
Robert Cowie, a Rural Services Partner at the firm, commented “Having actively supported these awards since their inception two years ago, we are delighted to sponsor this category in recognition of the value provided by farm contractors to the economy in terms of employment and the provision of flexible support to the farmer in what is a highly capital intensive industry.
The recent merger of the two accountancy practices, Francis Clark and Winter Rule, adds significant strength to the accountancy and tax support available from the combined firm to farmers and rural businesses throughout Cornwall and the South West”
The Cornwall Farm Business Awards, now in their third year, have become a firm fixture in Cornwall’s farming calendar and continue to profile the important work of organisers The Addington Fund in the county.
