Planning, diversification and business development.

Grants and subsidies
A dairy farmer had been receiving £900pa for 2 years through the Single payment scheme before calling David.
David re-calculated the relevant quotas and acreage, wrote the appropriate reports and submitted appeals to the RPA in conflict with their own calculations. David submitted a copy of these appeals to the local MP and relevant other government departments.
The appeal resulted in the payment of £12,000 pa, with backdated payments for the previous 2 years.
During the last year David has gained an income close to half a million pounds for his clients through SPS alone.
