Tim oversees the overall operation of EAL AgriServices Group, focusing on growth opportunities for the business.

Tim farmed in partnership with his father, on their mixed farming operation at Greendale. He then worked for Pyne Gould Guinness as a Grain Agent, for seven years.

In 2002 the opportunity arose to form Ellesmere Agricultural Limited; an Equity Partnership with David and Doug Turner, of Rakaia Island Dairies. Shortly after this (in partnership with the Turner family), Tim purchased Millbrook - a 100ha cropping farm in Southbridge. Millbrook was expanded in 2009, with the purchase of an additional 73ha.
