At Thomas Westcott we understand that farming is much more than just a business, it is a way of life and quite often a truly family affair, with the hope and expectation that the farm will continue to pass down through the generations.

But in an industry which is increasingly influenced by external factors, we understand that for most there is a need to diversify in order to survive, and in cases where the next generation are not looking to continue the farming tradition there are other very significant issues to consider. These are the areas we can offer our invaluable specialist knowledge to ensure that your business is able to make use of all the valuable tax reliefs specific to farming, as well as those available to all business, to ensure you protect your most valuable assets and get the best outcome for your family.

At Thomas Westcott we have 30 years of experience of working with the agricultural sector, and our dedicated agricultural team has considerable knowledge and involvement in dealing with issues specific to farmers.

We can assist you with a variety of services covering:

Accounting
Agricultural Consultancy
