Workshops across England — November 2026
GRIP is for you if
- You feel like the farm is running you, not the other way round
- Family conversations keep going in circles — or not happening at all
- You're facing succession planning and nobody wants to start the conversation
- You want to get better at negotiating with suppliers, buyers, or the bank
- You know the farm's future depends on the people, not just the production
What makes GRIP different?
There are plenty of farm business courses out there. Most focus on the technical side — agronomy, finance, compliance. GRIP is different because it focuses on the bit nobody else touches: the human side.
It's not therapy. It's not a leadership course. It's practical change management for farming businesses, grounded in real farm life.
