I lead the strategic direction, decision-making, and overall management of Woldmarsh. My role is to drive growth, ensure we are delivering excellent service to Members, encourage training and personal development for the team.

As Chief Business Officer (CBO), this role combines duties typically associated with a Chief Operating Officer (COO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and Chief Administrative Officer (CAO). Responsibilities include overseeing daily operations, managing financial strategies, and ensuring administrative efficiency. Additionally, the CBO will take on expanded HR responsibilities, aligning workforce management with the organisation’s strategic objectives. This position is crucial for driving business growth, improving operational performance, and fostering a unified organisational culture.

I am responsible for planning and delivering the correct inputs for the members' farming season, ensuring they can use Woldmarsh in a way that suits their business with good service and terms.

I draw on my previous experience as a farm manager and connections in the farming community, to help me to work with our members to procure fertiliser, delivering quality, at a competitive price, as efficiently as possible aided by strong relationships with my suppliers.

Having completed six years of studies within agriculture, I now help farmers with all aspects of crop production, and I have a passion for regenerative farming and the SFI mixes. I deal with order enquiries and queries.

I have worked for Woldmarsh for almost five years, having transferred from Woldlink. I now work within the crop & animal inputs team. I lead the Animal / Livestock business but work closely with the fertiliser, agchem and seed too.

I work with and oversee an astounding team of four. Together the products and services we procure contribute to an annual turnover through Woldmarsh of over £55million. I manage contracts and an extensive list of reliable suppliers, ensuring members continue to receive the best possible service from Woldmarsh.

I am involved in the administration and purchasing of contracts for electricity, mains gas, telecommunications and water for Woldmarsh members.

I work as part of a team speaking to our members and liaising with our suppliers to resolve queries for electricity, telecommunications, mains gas, water and labour. I also take and place fuel orders on behalf of members.

I am the voice (and person) behind the phone taking your orders and arranging urgent run-outs. My skills do not stop here as in the background I assist the utilities team as and when required.

My role is to ensure the team provide a first-class, relevant, consistent procurement service for the benefit of members as well as supporting and developing relationships with suppliers. I enjoy putting into practice a variety of life and work experience skills gained.

I regularly liaise with approximately 300 sundries suppliers to achieve the best possible prices and levels of service for our members. Understanding our members' requirements to find a solution and liaising to ensure they receive products on time.

I am passionate about helping people and providing excellent Customer Service. I am now responsible for heading up Communication, Marketing and Events to ensure our Woldmarsh members are represented both in-person and online.

My main role is to visit and sign-up new members for Woldmarsh, as well as help existing members maximise the benefits available to them. I regularly attend shows and events to attract new prospects, and also visit existing members to carry out spend reviews and make sure that they are getting the best value out of their memberships.

Having spent five years with Woldmarsh, I have experience across all departments having being part of the Crop Inputs and Accounts Team. I am thrilled to have moved to join the Membership Services Team and look forward to being of service to our members.

I oversee the day-to-day running of the accounts team, balancing the sales and purchase ledgers to reconcile the Woldmarsh monthly accounts. I also support members and suppliers with any account enquiries and manage the office and building facilities.

I completed my AAT Advanced Diploma in Accounting at Franklin College in Grimsby and my BA Accountancy & Finance at the University of Lincoln. In my spare time I enjoy walking, hiking and studying. I am really looking forward to my future with Woldmarsh and to be able to broaden my knowledge within the agricultural industry.

My role involves capturing invoices and placing them onto members' accounts as well as dealing with supplier and member queries.

I am proud to work as part of the dedicated accounts team, processing invoices, checking statements, and helping members with enquiries. This position enables me to utlise and strengthen my customer service skills as well as to learn new ones and develop myself further.

My career to date has centred on managing procurement and sales teams across the building, timber, and arboricultural sectors. I work closely with our sector heads to optimise the procurement of goods and services for member farmers at Woldmarsh, focusing on negotiating prices, sourcing quality products/services, and delivering cost-effective solutions tailored to members' needs.
