It was a weekend full of agriculture for the Allan James Financial Services team, with visits to both Uttoxeter and Lichfield Ploughing Matches.
Despite the British weather making an appearance, it was great to get out, catch up with familiar faces and support two brilliant local agricultural events.
Uttoxeter Ploughing Match – Saturday
Saturday saw Sophie, Natalie and Lulu head over to Uttoxeter Ploughing Match for the first of our agricultural events of the weekend.
The weather wasn't quite on our side and the rain meant we couldn't stay for as long as we'd hoped, but it was still lovely to have a walk around, see the ploughing underway and support another great local agricultural event.
Lichfield Ploughing Match – Sunday
Sunday saw the whole Allan James Financial Services team head to Lichfield Ploughing Match, with partners and children joining us too for a proper family day out.
We had a brilliant day catching up with customers, friends and plenty of familiar faces from the local farming community, as well as enjoying everything the match had to offer.
We were also handing out our colouring competition packs for the younger visitors, complete with crayons and a little treat, with a prize up for grabs for our winner.
A big thank you to Chris Broome for welcoming everyone onto his farm and providing the land for this year’s match.
It was also great to see The Farming Community Network (FCN) there supporting the farming community, with nurses on hand carrying out health checks including blood pressure and cholesterol checks.
Supporting the Agricultural Community
Agriculture has always been a huge part of Allan James Financial Services, so weekends like this are about much more than business for us.
We really enjoy getting out into the local farming community, catching up with customers old and new, and supporting the events that bring everyone together.
A big thank you to everyone involved in organising both Uttoxeter and Lichfield Ploughing Matches. We had a brilliant weekend and look forward to seeing everyone again soon! 🚜🌾
