A Shropshire farmer’s son has returned to the county to join the team at Madeley’s Chartered Surveyors in Much Wenlock.
Tom Bayliss, 24, studied at Harper Adams, studying a BSC (Hons) in Rural Enterprise and Land Management before taking a graduate job in Lincolnshire in 2013 doing estate management for the Tollemache family.
He has now taken up the post of Trainee Rural Surveyor at Madeley’s Chartered Surveyors.
Owner Paul Madeley said: “Tom has experienced managing a 30,000 acre estate with a 10,000 acre in hand farm, 300 residential properties, commercial properties, tenant farmers, large areas of woodland and a commercial partridge and pheasant shoot.
“His experience will give him a great start in the world of rural surveyors and we are sure he is going to be an extremely welcome addition to the team.”
Thomas grew up in Ludlow, attending Ludlow Church of England School, where his father runs a beef and arable farm as well as recently diversifying into commercial fishery, a farm shop and caravan site.
He is currently vice chairman of Ludlow Young Farmers Club and a player for Ludlow RFC.
He said: “I moved home after living in Lincolnshire and am very pleased to be back living and working in Shropshire.
“Coming to Madeleys is an exciting opportunity for me as I am joining a fantastic company with diverse clients which will give me the experience I need to pass my qualifications and become a chartered surveyor.”
