Ken spent nine years as a Farm Management Consultant initially in the South West and then the North West of England. Duties involved giving specific technical, financial and managerial advice to farmers of all types. Subsequently, this experience has been used in projects requiring an understanding of how farmers manage their land, the pressures under which they operate and their attitudes to change.

With PAA Ltd, he has worked on a project to assess the likely costs to farmers of action by United Utilities to bring SSSIs on their land to favourable condition. He also undertook research into the potential use of Land Management Incentives in Scotland’s soon-to-be designated national parks (for SNH) – including analysis of the success or otherwise of a wide range of schemes developed using Objective 5b funds which targeted improvements to rights of way and access facilities (e.g. the Dartmoor Moor Care campaign, Exmoor’s Sustainable Countryside Management Initiative).

Ken has also worked on projects that examine the interaction between access and agricultural management, and work to help mitigate the effects of public access on livestock management. More recently,

Ken has focused on problems of common land management, and worked with Defra, Natural England, United Utilities (and PAA), Staffordshire County Council/PAA Ltd on separate projects concerning common land management.
