What We Do

About Us

Chris is both Founding Director of Origin Rural and a Chartered Surveyor with over 15 years professional experience in the rural sector. Based on his family’s farm in Wiltshire with an active involvement in agriculture, Chris truly understands the intricacies of the industry from the inside. Having spent his early career as a rural surveyor with Savills operating across the South of England, Chris has built a strong professional grounding and reputation in estate management, agri-business and farm agency with a broad range of clients. More latterly, a spell with the National Trust as a specialist technical surveyor provided Chris with exposure to institutional scale land management with a conservation and sustainability agenda at the forefront. In drawing together corporate and in-house specialisms, Chris now benefits from a truly broad skill-set in professional services and people management. In 2018, Chris established a specialist independent advisory for private clients. In growing this business and developing a strong client base, Origin Rural now prides itself on excellent customer service and targeted professional support. The focus is firmly on adding value to rural business and property through bespoke advice.
