A leading property consultancy is strengthening its rural expertise with the appointment of a new partner as it looks to support farmers and landowners through a period of significant change.

Fisher German has welcomed back Anna Collins to its Market Harborough office to help grow the firm’s offering across the country.

Anna rejoins the business after three years, having previously spent a total of 11 years at Fisher German earlier in her career, with experience at both Knight Frank and Carter Jonas.

In her new role as a Partner, Anna will work alongside Head of Rural Property Management Rebecca Ruck-Keene on delivering strategic land management services for landowning clients, helping them to maximise the value of their assets while navigating an evolving rural landscape.

With the rural sector facing ongoing pressure, her appointment comes as Fisher German continues to expand its support for clients managing increasingly complex estates and businesses.

Anna said: “I’m very happy to be returning to Fisher German and to be working with such a knowledgeable and supportive team once again.

“There’s a real sense of momentum within the business, and I’m looking forward to helping farmers and landowners navigate what is a challenging environment, while also making the most of the opportunities that are emerging.

“Having spent so much of my career here, it feels like coming back to a place where I can make a real difference to clients and be part of a team that truly understands the rural sector.”

Anna will play a key role in developing the firm’s rural property management services nationwide, supporting a wide range of clients from traditional farming businesses to larger estates and corporate landholdings.

Rebecca Ruck-Keene added: “We are delighted to welcome Anna back to Fisher German. Her return is a real testament to the strength of our people-focused approach and the culture we have built across the business.

“She brings a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the challenges our clients are facing, and her appointment strengthens our ability to deliver the high-quality, tailored service that our clients expect.

“As the rural sector continues to evolve, it is vital that we have the right expertise in place to support our clients, and Anna will play a key role in helping us achieve that.”
