It's been a tough year for farmers.

Following the driest July on record and the third drought in five years, the government has announced £65 million in support — including extra Sustainable Farming Incentive funding, help with on-farm reservoirs, and easier access to water during drought.

We have pulled together what it means and what farmers could do next. Full details on our website and so please share with anyone in farming who might find this useful.

Still independent. Still personal. Still us.

In a world where more and more accountancy firms are being bought up by big national groups, we are proud that Hall Livesey Brown remains independently owned.

That matters.

It means you are not just a client number. You are dealing with people who know your name, your business, and your history. No call centres, no constant changes in who you speak to, no shareholders in the background dictating how we work.

We have built our reputation on genuine relationships and straightforward advice, and that is not about to change.

Fancy working with a firm that actually knows your name? Get in touch we would love to meet you.

Independent by choice. Personal by nature.
