Our Rural Estates have been managed for hundreds of years with a primary focus on good long-term stewardship and a desire to enhance the economic social and environmental wellbeing of the communities we are part of.  As part of our Rural Estates, this year’s net profit is accounted for by our commercial performance in Grosvenor Farms, the management of a rural property portfolio and other small local ventures (e.g. renewable energy production, a small number of holiday cottages for letting, etc.).
