About Charles Smith
Born in Inverness, Charles studied Agricultural Engineering at Silsoe before taking up employment with Massey Ferguson where he held numerous export sales and marketing positions over the years. His last position with Massey Ferguson’s parent company AGCO, was as Managing Director for the Challenger business for Europe, Africa and the Middle-East.

FarmWell is a brand new farming specific resources “hub” providing truly holistic support and mentoring to all in the farming community. Through this seminar, we will demonstrate how users can access information, professional support and guidance from a wide range of sources, which will aim to help with personal resilience and contribute to the creation of viable and sustainable farming businesses.
