Not content with running one business, Anna has effectively launched two more off the back of her sheep shearing business. Anna has attended British Wool Shearing courses over the years and has built up her own shearing round, shearing over 8,500 sheep a year. Alongside the shearing, Anna launched The Crafty Shearer, where she creates products from the wool she's sheared – including peg loom rugs, baubles, keyrings and greeting cards amongst other products. Anna has also recently expanded her own flock of sheep and rented more land with plans to generate an income from these alongside The Crafty Shearer business.

Jack launched Jack Tucker Livestock and has quickly made substantial profits in his first years of trading. Jack spotted a gap in the livestock market and successfully made a business from it.

The growth of the business in its first three years is remarkable and it is evident that Jack is focused on expanding and growing further.

Millie's artisan cheese business The Dairy Door is not only a brilliant idea but also has potential to grow further. Millie's hard work in setting the business up during lockdown and while studying for a PhD and developing ideas, is to be applauded. She created a cheese room out of a converted shipping container and developed two types of cheeses. While waiting for approval on the cheese, Millie started selling Farmhouse Fudge to local farm shops in Shropshire. She has since won awards for her cheese and fudge and is now supplying her products to stockists, generating an income and has a backlog of orders.
