Overseeing the management of Conant
Farming, and ultimately in charge of
policy and corporate financing.

Having been in and around farming
since birth (view the history page), he
supports James & the team with a depth
of knowledge and composed counsel.

In addition to other roles, responsibilities
and trusteeships, Edward owns and
operates the extensive Lyndon Estate
businesses, managing a wide range of
residential and commercial properties,
including Lyndon Farms, Lyndon Barns,
and Lyndon Property (inc Picks Barn).

Joining from a successful farming
company in Essex, initially as the Farms
Manager, before moving into the
Director role following the planned
retirement of his predecessor.

Calmly moving forward with a
progressive approach to contracting, he
has successfully expanded and enriched
the business during his tenure, and
importantly, made good returns for all.

James is an ardent supporter of
sustainable farming techniques and
directs policies accordingly, aiming to
improve soil health whilst reducing
environmental impacts.

Matt introduced a wealth of experience
employed as the Foreman at a time
when an extensive new contract had just
been awarded. He moved successfully
into the Manager role when James took
on the overall leadership appointment.

Ever present on the ground coordinating
and overseeing proceedings ensuring
prompt operations and reacting to
incidental change, whilst concurrently
adhering to farm policy, health and safety
requirements, and other regulations.

He never shies from machine time when
circumstances demand, and constantly
reciprocates with the Director.

Neil is always positive and full of energy.

Having spent many years in large-scale
farm management, his wealth of
experience is of immense value. He has
provided continuity through his long
association with Conant Farming.

He consults with the management team
on a range of agronomic matters, how
best to navigate industry policy, right
through to advising on corporate
financial strategies particularly during
periods of business evolution.

Neil services a handful of customers in
the UK and across Eastern Europe.

Justine takes responsibility for balancing
the books at the year-end, liaising with
the accountancy firm, and handling
HMRC submissions inc VAT returns.

She utilises the Landmark farm
management software from the Lyndon
estate office, where she also performs
similar responsibilities for the portfolio
of Lyndon-managed businesses.

Outside of work, Justine is a keen rider
and spends plenty of time around and
about on horseback or walking the dogs.
She is also playing a leading role in the
flourishing Picks Barn enterprise.

Amanda is the central administrator
located at the Lyndon farm office.

Each month she processes an astonishing
number of transactions through the
Landmark management system,
facilitating real-time monitoring of the
financial position for Conant Farming
and all of the internally managed
contracted businesses. She also
administers the staffing payroll.

Beyond the office, Amanda values an
active home life and is a feline fanatic,
although the adorable family cockapoo
perhaps isn't quite so keen!

Carrie joined the Lyndon office team
easing the burden on Amanda and
management. With a legal background,
she’s proved invaluable working in a
clerical role across the various estate
businesses, including Conant Farming.

She is highly organised and efficient,
taking responsibility for processing much
of the bulk non-automated farm
bookkeeping and electronically storing
regulatory documentation.

Away from work, Carrie loves to get to
the gym and spends as much time as
possible with her daughter and family.

Employed part-time, Hazel also oversees
her own family farming business
administration. She is based in the office
and connects remotely as necessary.

Having worked in related accounting
practices for as long as she can
remember, what she can’t do with
Landmark Systems software, or an Excel
spreadsheet, isn’t worth knowing - yikes!

By configuring and customising
the office system processes, she has
revolutionised the financial management
workflow across the farming businesses.

Hazel is a keen distance runner.

Tom connected directly from college. As
a farmer's son, he immediately put his
experience and initiative to effective use
and took on greater responsibilities.

Naturally appointed to the Foreman role,
he now schedules and coordinates many
of the day-to-day farming activities.
Additionally, whilst working within the
team, management receives his feedback
to improve active capability.

He often operates one of the sprayers and
is well-versed in harvesting having
piloted a combine for several years. Tom
is also involved with a local YFC.

Maurice joined in 2003 when the
Gunthorpe Estate assigned their
operations at the beginning of the
contracting journey. His experience from
working there for over twenty years
proved invaluable, as it does to this day.

Seen it, done it, got the t-shirt! If a
job needs doing, rest assured Mo has the
know-how, is organised, methodical, and
motivated - something that positively
influences the team around him.

Fulfilling a variety of key roles, he
primarily operates advanced machinery
including a 36m/6000l sprayer and an
enormous combine harvester!

With a technical background influenced
by his father’s fabrication business,
Michael quickly became an asset in the
workshop, often repairing, refurbishing,
and constructing equipment.

His existing farming experience set him
in good stead, and he quickly adapted
to the step-up in machinery scale and
technology of the CFCO operations.

Assigned to cultivation, he's often
tasked with operating the larger tractors
with a host of implements, including
the strip-till and direct drills. Michael
always pushes on and never evades long
hours to get ahead of the weather.

Initially assisting during harvest and
extending his appointment into the
autumn establishment season, Ed proved
his capabilities undertaking an array of
duties calmly, sensibly, and self-
sufficiently; hardly surprising given his
family’s farming background.

He has since stepped up becoming a full-
time team member, popular with his
colleagues given his friendly nature and
positive attitude; always willing to get
on with whatever he’s tasked.

Recently Ed has been filling Phill’s
retirement void, operating the largest of
the tractors and cultivation machinery.

Having had agri experience at home in
Poland, he appeared early in 2022
eagerly seeking employment. With a
willingness to work hard and further
develop his career, he started at CFCO
on a seasonal basis, subsequently
becoming more involved.

He’s proved his worth; an unstoppable,
yet positive force, prepared to work
tirelessly and on task come day or night.

Unquestionably the fittest member of the
team, Krz eats well, trains hard, and is
known to have run around Rutland
Water when the conditions weren’t
suitable for his bike - amazing!

A regular face in Lyndon for many years;
Graham originally began working as a
roofer (with his father) before taking on
general responsibilities around the estate
on a day-to-day basis. He often makes
the switch across to the farm business.

A versatile team player, always busy
around harvest time: operating the sheds,
carting, or moving the combine headers.
Graham’s knowledge of all the contracted
sites makes him a valuable resource,
called upon whenever the farm must
work to meet tight seasonal deadlines.

He’s a rarity; steadfast, and never
complaining regardless of the given task.

Leaving college to successfully operate
his own sports services and retailing
business for over 20 years, Rik arrived
in Lyndon renting commercial property
soon after the farmyard was converted.

Combining an outgoing effervescent
personality with wide-ranging expertise,
he now provides various IT support &
marketing services to a handful of
businesses including Conant Farming.

Madly keen on farming in his youth,
Rik proves invaluable primarily diving in
during harvest to cover the bulk grain
drying & storage activities and offers
operational support at peak times.
