I'm Clare Gregory and I am delighted to be joining the NFU East team. I started on 28 July, replacing Emily Brown who has moved to a new role with the NFU's international trade team.
I've joined the NFU from Bedfordshire NFU Mutual agency, where I was selling commercial insurance.
It's an area I know well as I grew up on a Bedfordshire farm. I was a partner in a dairy and arable farm in the north west for more than 20 years and I have also run a farm-based visitor attraction.
I'm really looking forward to getting out and about across the area, meeting and helping members and bringing my experience as an NFU member to the county adviser role.
