“I’m very pleased and excited to be joining Tayforth Machinery Ring as General Manager. While I formally take up the role on 20th July, I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself. It’s a real privilege to be joining such a well-established and respected organisation, and I’m looking forward to meeting members and gaining a deeper understanding of your businesses over the coming months.
By way of background, I’ve spent nearly 20 years working in agriculture, followed by the last three years in the renewable energy sector. Across these roles, I’ve developed a strong understanding of the challenges facing rural businesses, as well as the opportunities that are emerging across the industry.
My aim is simple—to make sure Tayforth continues to work as effectively as possible for you. I’m keen to listen to what matters most to members, where we’re doing well, and where we can improve or offer more support. I know how important the sense of trust and cooperation is within a machinery ring, and I’m looking forward to continuing to build strong relationships and keeping communication open and straightforward.

Once I’m in post, I’ll be out and about meeting members, so I hope to see many of you in person soon. If you’re passing the office in Milnathort, feel free to pop in to meet myself and the team, or get in touch for a chat—I’d be delighted to hear from you.
In the meantime, thank you for your continued support—I’m looking forward to working with you.”
