Erica Thomas

Prior to joining Pinstone, I started my career in marketing with a large UK food processor, gaining valuable insight and practical experience of the journey from farm to fork and the role for marketing.

Keen to build on my communications and agricultural knowledge, develop my creative skills, and return to rural life, I then relocated to mid-Wales and joined Pinstone. The rural setting is more attuned to my upbringing, having grown up on a beef, sheep, and arable farm in Warwickshire and is allowing me to pursue my passion for the agricultural sector and interest in the food industry. My degree was in Agri-Food Marketing with Business at Harper Adams University, which has proved a perfect grounding for my career.

In my current role, I support the delivery of digital and editorial campaign content and stakeholder communications for various clients. My role allows me to work with organisations who are supporting sustainable British agriculture. I am continuously learning more about the breadth of the food, farming and environmental sectors and no two days are the same! I am grateful to be surrounded by a team of PR consultants that share my passion for agri-food. It’s rewarding to see how marketing and PR can make such an impact on the sector.

In my spare time, I enjoy seeing friends and family for occasions which usually involve great food and trying out new baking recipes. I also enjoy big walks, running and helping out on both my family’s farm, and partner’s farm.
