Old Mill extends agricultural expertise nationwide through Kinbrook Group

Agricultural businesses across the UK can now access nationwide advice backed by deep regional insight.

 

Old Mill can now offer farms and rural enterprises truly national advisory support through its position within the Kinbrook Group. As Kinbrook's South West hub, Old Mill is working in close collaboration with Duncan & Toplis in the Midlands to provide consistent, specialist advice across key agricultural regions in England.

Old Mill has long been a trusted adviser to the farming community, particularly strong in the dairy sector and wider agricultural markets across the South West. Its rural team supports clients with farm accounts, tax planning, succession, diversification and business advice, grounded in an understanding of the unique pressures facing agricultural businesses.

Andrew Vickery, Head of Rural at Old Mill, said:

"Our strength has always been our relationships - with clients, their businesses and the communities they're part of. Through Kinbrook, we can now maintain that local focus while offering broader insight and reach. For our clients, this means access to consistent, sector-specific support, wherever they operate."

The collaboration with Duncan & Toplis brings complementary experience in arable farming, food production and agri-business structuring across the Midlands. Each firm retains its regional identity and client relationships, while drawing on shared knowledge and aligned systems.

Mark Chatterton, Head of Agriculture at Duncan & Toplis, added:

"We're still delivering the local advice our clients know and trust, but now we're working more closely with colleagues who share the same sector focus. This gives our clients confidence that they're backed by a stronger, more joined-up network. Our team is excited to be part of this expansion and to play a role in strengthening the support available to agricultural businesses across the country."

This national capability is underpinned by Kinbrook Group, which connects specialist firms to provide cohesive support across agriculture, rural business and estates. While the structure enables national delivery, the day-to-day client relationships remain local and personal.

Ian Symes, CEO of Kinbrook Group, commented:

"The ability to offer regional expertise with national coordination is at the heart of what Kinbrook is about. Old Mill and Duncan & Toplis are two of the most experienced advisory firms in the agricultural sector, and their collaboration gives clients access to a deeper bench of support without losing the personal service they value."
