Our People

Owen brings a calm, detail-led approach to estate work, working across land, property and the day-to-day realities of rural estates.

Often described as forensic in his approach, he is known for his ability to understand complex situations in depth and maintain a clear grasp of detail over time. Combined with a steady, reliable and approachable way of working, he progresses matters consistently, particularly in situations that require persistence and careful coordination.

Much of his work involves dealing with the complexity that sits behind estates, from tenancy matters and restructuring through to progressing opportunities within planning and environmental constraints. He works closely with landowners, professional advisors and wider stakeholders to ensure issues are properly understood and moved forward in a structured and considered way.

With over 20 years’ experience in estate management, Owen works across a number of large and diverse rural estates, including mixed estates, leisure and tourism-focused estates in Dorset, and agricultural and sporting estates in Wiltshire and Hampshire. His work spans both the ongoing management of estates and the progression of more complex projects, bringing continuity and clarity where there are multiple moving parts.

A good example of this is his work at Kimmeridge Bay on the Smedmore Estate, where he developed and delivered a new commercial model for the site, bringing together planning, environmental and local considerations to establish a viable and sensitive long-term operation.

Owen is a Committee Member and former Chairman of the Hants, Wilts & Dorset CAAV, and a Committee Member of the Wiltshire CLA. Outside of work, Owen enjoys running, field sports and watching rugby, and can often be found maintaining and working his Fordson Major, reflecting the practical, hands-on approach he brings to his work.
