Agent & Group Secretary

Christopher lives in the heart of Exmoor with his wife Caroline and children Dulcie & Rufus on their 30 acre small holding, where they rear dairy calves and run a pedigree flock of Wiltshire Horn sheep. In their down time they also keep a small herd of pedigree milking goats which they enjoy competing in the show ring throughout the season across the South West. He is based at our Rooksbridge office working alongside Mike House.
