Where family meets business - the communication challenge. With Joe Evans, Deputy President of the CLA

On this episode we welcome Joe Evans, Deputy President of the CLA (Country Land and Business Association). We have a great chat about communicating in family business - the highs and lows! 

Joe grew up on his family farm in Herefordshire and spent much of the first decade of his career working for HSBC Group in Asia.

In 2012 he and his wife Keeley returned 'home' where he took over the day to day running of Whitbourne estate from his father. Working together with one of his farming tenants, Joe runs the home farm as an extensive organic grazing enterprise with significant focus on environmental stewardship schemes.

He has been involved with the CLA as chair of the Herefordshire branch and chair of the Environment Committee and is now Deputy President.
