With a broad client base across farming, landowners and rural businesses, we are committed to serving rural communities with professionalism, accessibility and long-term strategic focus. Recognised for combining expert technical advice with genuinely personalised client service, we are excited to be adding to our team at Redhills Business Park in Penrith. As we approach our 150-year anniversary, PFK Rural stands at an exciting point in its development.

Our expertise spans valuations, estate management, planning and development advice, dispute resolution, landlord and tenant matters, woodland and forest management, renewable energy consulting, digital mapping and strategic business guidance. We are now looking for a Director to join the Board of PFK Rural and play a central role in shaping the future of the business. Reporting to the Board and working closely with existing directors and senior advisers, you will lead strategic planning, nurture and expand client relationships, and ensure delivery of the highest professional standards across all service lines. You will champion innovation in rural property services, uphold our client-centric culture, and represent the business externally within the rural economy and professional networks. This is a role for a seasoned professional with comprehensive experience in rural land agency, surveying or a closely related discipline. You will have a strong track record of commercial leadership, exceptional judgement and the ability to engage effectively with clients ranging from individual landowners to corporate stakeholders. A thorough understanding of the regulatory and commercial landscape affecting rural property and land interests is essential, and membership of relevant professional bodies such as RICS or CAAV is strongly preferred. Beyond technical and leadership skills, the successful candidate will embody values of integrity, collaboration and strategic thinking. You will be comfortable steering the business through market cycles and policy changes, such as evolving agricultural support schemes and planning frameworks, while maintaining an unwavering focus on client outcomes and team development. PFK Rural's culture encourages proactive problem solving and responsive service, and our next Director will build on this foundation to enhance our reputation and performance across the region.
