Planting, ploughing and drainage amounted to some 500 hectares per year. 1980-1986 Mitchell Trust & Cheviot Forestry Consultants Ltd Originally the job started as forest manager at Kyloe wood, a 400 ha wood in Northumberland of international silvicultural interest. DELFA, a local forestry co-operative with a sawmill, was a joint employer. Financial pressures were such that I concentrated on outside work for about half my time. This was successful and in 1986, when Kyloe wood was sold, Cheviot Forestry Consultants Ltd was viable in its own right and wholly owned by me. Savills, an international firm of property agents, purchased my business in 1986. 1986-1988 FPD Savills Plc I was mainly involved in the agency from the Edinburgh office. Although all sides worked very hard, the client base did not expand and it was agreed that the previous working arrangement was better. I left Savills in 1988 to start Border Consultants. I work closely with Savills and other firms of land-agents on many projects. 1988 – present Border Consultants (Forestry) Ltd Border Consultants is now my professional life and likely to remain so. We manage some 12,000 hectares of forestry. We have many prize-winning woodlands under our management, in particular the Dulverton Flagon in 1992. Border Consultants is the only management company to have achieved 3 Centres of Excellence. We are experienced in Environmental Assessments and are responsible for the first large upland broadleaf Languages English, Dutch, Estonian, rusty German and rusty French aforestation scheme in England www.college-valley.co.uk. We won the contract to prepare the WGS and ES for the 1,200 ha Royal Scottish Forestry Society Millennium Forest on the shores of Loch Lomond and managed the project for 10 years. We manage woodland to FSC standard. 1997 – 2012 Chairman of KMS Baltics Fest Forest Festil Forest Border Consultants Are a group of companies under the umbrella KMS Baltics At present I am managing KMS Baltics, which is an umbrella name for the independent forest and property management companies, which provide investments in the UK, Romania, Estonia and Latvia.

We now manage 50 000 ha and employ 23 staff, including Fest-Forest Latvija, which I set up in 2003. Fest-Forest provides property investment management services to global clients, both commercial and private investors. In 2007 I set up Festil-forest management company with my partner Albert Serban. Festil-forest now manages 7,000 ha in Romania and has its own management unit (Ocolul Cilvic). 2012 – present Managing Director of HD FestForest (HD FF is the new company, following the merger of HedeBaltic and Fest-Forest) My current role involves close working with Michael Glud, Chairman of HD FF, to develop this new company as it continues to grow and to ensure that services to clients remain of the highest quality.
