Ben Briggs

I am passionate about farming and rural affairs, as well as the art of good comms more widely.

With more than 20 years’ experience in journalism and corporate communications, I was editor and then publisher of Farmers Guardian for almost a decade and led the publication through the most successful commercial period in its 180 year history, as well as driving huge growth in its digital and social media audience.

With critical experience in local media earlier in my career, I have latterly been acting as a media and communications consultant and also led the marcomms team at the UK Agri-Tech Centre for a fixed term, which provided a new and fascinating insight into comms and influence in a politically-charged setting.

From a farming background and with the bulk of my career spent in the sector, being part of the Pinstone team is a great opportunity to be part of a leading business which is helping shape the narrative within the farming and rural sectors.
