Richard Leader

Land Trust trustee

Richard's background is in strategic marketing for a wide-range of businesses - from start-ups to multi-nationals.

He is a leading fractional Chief Marketing Officer, offering strategy advisory and coaching services to a number of companies. He primarily works with sustainability, climate tech and green finance businesses.

Although he grew-up on farms (and started his working life aged 13 collecting eggs on a poultry farm), his career has taken him into the world of digital marketing and storytelling. As his grandmother would have said, though, "he's always been close to the soil" and is very keen to bring his experience to the Land Trust.

Richard lives in rural Surrey with his family and is an active member of his community where he chairs the community radio station and is fundraising for local sports facilities
