HAY CONSULTING

For situations that don't fit a standard brief.

The decisions that matter most about land tend not to arrive with a clear brief. They arrive gradually, in parts, shaped by family history and financial reality and a sense of what the land could be if the right things happened in the right order. By the time someone picks up the phone, they have usually been thinking about it for a long time.

Hay Consulting works with people at exactly that point. Private estates and family landholdings working out what the next chapter looks like. Rural enterprises holding commercial ambition and environmental responsibility together. Quietly complex situations that do not fit a standard advisory brief and need someone who can hold the whole picture from first conversation to finished outcome.

Engagements are available on a retained, project, or ad hoc basis. What remains constant is a commitment to doing things properly, with the judgement, care, and discretion that complex situations require.

  • "Running a growing business and managing family affairs simultaneously was becoming unmanageable. Kit brought structure to both, establishing the foundations of a family office while also helping us think clearly about where the business should go next. The clarity that came from that work has been genuinely valuable."

    Mark, Entrepreneur and Founder

  • "We came to Kit with a clear ambition - to move away from conventional farming practice towards something more considered, but with no clear road map. What followed was a thorough operational review, support through a significant land acquisition process, and practical guidance on diversifying our exciting business. The estate is in a fundamentally different and better position as a result."

  • "The relocation could have been chaotic. Instead it was handled with such calm and thoroughness that by the time we arrived, everything was already in place. The household was established, the right people were in post, and the governance of our family office was properly structured for the first time. I cannot imagine having done it without Kit."
