At the Farm Business Innovation Show, we bring together forward-thinking exhibitors and visitors, helping to foster business success stories just like this one.
Andrew Cumming from Poplar's Farm, Fairsby, shares his experience:
"We used to be a dairy farm but switched to DIY horses after leaving the dairy business in 2016. With basic farm payments coming to an end, we needed to diversify for alternative income. Self-storage caught our attention as it aligned with our current operations and required minimal effort on our part.
While we explored other options like glamping, the setup costs and planning permission seemed more complex than self-storage. The Farm Business Innovation show was a great place to explore these ideas. We met so many positive, like-minded people, discussing various ways of diversifying. Meeting exhibitors like Cleveland Containers helped us realize that self-storage was the right fit for us.
The team at Cleveland Containers made the process easy. They had containers on-site, so we could see exactly what we were getting. After the show, their follow-up was fantastic – Tony called, and soon after, we had everything set up. We started small, but who knows how big this could grow!"
This is just one example of how our event connects visitors with exhibitors who offer practical solutions for farm diversification. Whether you're exploring self-storage, renewable energy, or other innovations, the Farm Business Innovation Show is the ideal place to get inspired and make real connections that can transform your business.
