Kirsty joined Mitchells in 2021. She graduated with a First Class Honours Degree in Agriculture with Animal Science from Harper Adams in 2014, and went on to work for Carrs Billington, covering farms across West Cumbria offering nutritional, animal health and fertiliser technical advice. This has given her good commercial, scientific and practical farming background knowledge to apply to her role at Mitchells.
She is FACTS and AMTRA qualified, and her focus within Mitchells is Countryside Stewardship and Environmental Management Grants, with a new shift to the Sustainable Farming Incentive and Environmental Land Management schemes. Kirsty is passionate about helping farmers integrate grants and support schemes into their current farming businesses.
Kirsty lives on the family dairy farm near Cockermouth with her husband and two young daughters and enjoys taking on many active roles here in her spare time.
