Chris Jones
Hello, I’m Chris Jones and have recently joined the ORC in a consultancy capacity to assist the Dean Organic Fund. I am a practising Chartered Surveyor based in Wiltshire with a keen interest in the rural sector and farming. Having spent several years working for a national firm, I now work independently with farmers and landowners. I am based on my family’s dairy farm so like to keep hands-on experience at the coal face and hope that my understanding of the industry will be a positive influence in this capacity.
