About Lauren
Lauren grew up helping on her grandparents' small arable farm in Suffolk and worked many harvests on a local arable estate.
Having gained a passion for agriculture, Lauren began studying Agriculture at Harper Adams University in 2017. During a placement year, Lauren moved away from Suffolk to the Scottish Borders to work on a mixed arable and beef farm and, after graduating in 2021, she permanently settled in the area.
Lauren started as a Trainee Farm Trader in April 2022 and will be representing McCreath Simpson & Prentice within the trading and sales team, combining that with the Agricultural Professional Advisors Apprenticeship at the University of Lincoln, where she will be working towards BASIS, FACTS and BETA qualifications.
Outside of work, Lauren helps her partner on their mixed livestock farm and enjoys training her working sheep and gun dogs.
