We don’t just advise from textbooks; we run businesses. Hub Rural provides hands-on land agency and strategic consultancy to help you sustain and grow your rural assets. From Lincolnshire to the wider UK, we turn agricultural challenges into commercial opportunities.

Real-World Experience for Rural Success

At Hub Rural, we exist to help you achieve your commercial goals. We understand that a rural business is more than just a set of assets; it is a complex operation that requires both strategic foresight and operational grit.

What sets us apart is our perspective. All our senior team members have hands-on business experience. We don’t just preach from textbooks—we do what you do. We run businesses, manage assets, and navigate the same market pressures you face every day.

Led by Industry Experts

Our team is led by Hugh Baker (BSc Hons MRICS FAAV), a qualified surveyor since 1996. Hugh brings a unique blend of professional expertise and commercial experience, including a six-year stint in the fresh produce sector and various non-executive director roles within large agri-businesses.

Supporting him is Sam Booth (LLB), who brings a first-class legal background and three generations of local farming knowledge to our agricultural property and estate matters. Together, we provide a "critical friend" approach that is tenacious, creative, and focused on finding a way forward.

How We Support Your Business Journey

We categorise our input into three distinct phases of the business lifecycle:

  1. Growth: We identify opportunities to expand, from land acquisition and joint venture feasibility to establishing food industry integration and collaborative farming groups.
  2. Managing: We handle the complexities of day-to-day operations, including the administration of Cropping Licences, Farm Business Tenancies (FBTs), and Contract Farming Agreements.
  3. Change: We guide you through transitions, whether that involves diversification, succession planning for families, or navigating new environmental payment schemes.

A Proactive Approach to Rural Property

We believe in progress over paperwork. Our mission is to provide input that facilitates growth rather than inhibiting it. We operate by a strict set of values that define our service:

  • Say what needs to be said: We provide honest, direct advice.
  • Do it now: We value your time and avoid unnecessary delays.
  • Focus on "How To": We look for solutions rather than listing reasons why something can't be done.
  • Stay Resilient: In the rural sector, challenges are constant; we remain available and tenacious until the job is done.

Whether you are looking to acquire new land, explore renewable energy options, or secure the future of a family estate, we provide the insight and professional standing to make it happen.
