Jill is Chief Executive of the National Association of Agricultural Contractors (NAAC) and has worked for the NAAC for over twenty years.

She is passionate about all things farming and values her role at the NAAC as being able to influence the industry and make positive change for the contracting sector, including the recognition of agricultural contractors by government on issues from fuel, to grant funding.

Safety is a high priority in the contracting industry and Jill has introduced many initiatives for NAAC members to help them control, audit and improve their understanding and practical implementation of safety management.

Jill grew up on a farm in Lincolnshire, is a Winston Churchill Memorial Scholar and has completed the Institute of Agricultural Management (IAgrM) Leadership Development Programme. She is also a Fellow of the IAgrM.

In her ‘spare’ time Jill is an ardent Leicester Tigers rugby fan, enjoys training her cocker spaniel and has a small pedigree flock of Lincoln Longwool sheep.
