October 2023

At this time of year, especially once the clocks have gone back, and the weather starts to get colder, many of us feel a little down or go into 'hibernation mode'. Not the Scene & Herd team though, as we've embraced Optimistic October!

Like so many of our clients, Scene & Herd team members are juggling family responsibilities alongside our business and farming commitments. Please be assured that if we are on a call and your children need you, or someone comes to the door, we'll be happy to wait or rearrange. We know school holidays can be a struggle so let’s all support each other!
