MHA appoints manager of agriculture team

MHA has announced the appointment of Christine Courtman as the firm’s new manager to its growing agriculture team. 

Courtman has worked in the agriculture sector for over 10 years and brings knowledge and experience to the team, particularly around accounts preparation and analysis, as well as internal system reviews and recommendations.

In her previous firm, her clients have included farmers in partnerships, limited companies, sole traders and LLPs, as well as those wanting to diversify.

She joins the firm from Land Family Business where she has been working as a specialist agricultural accounts manager for a number of years.

Courtman said: “I am very excited to have this opportunity of working at MHA. The fact that their Agricultural lead, Sarah Dodds, also runs a large farm with her husband really resonated with me, given my husband is a poultry farm manager. 

“I feel, in the farming sector in particular, having ‘real life’ experience makes a significant difference when working closely with clients and understanding their challenges and opportunities.”

She added: “I take great satisfaction in supporting farmers with becoming more financially efficient and pride myself on building strong relationships with clients, which I know to be a huge strength of MHA.”

Joe Spencer, agricultural partner at MHA, said: “We are excited to be adding Christine to the agriculture, food and farming team here at MHA. Christine brings with her great working knowledge, and the appointment underlines our commitment to the sector to building great relationships and providing industry specific advice to our clients now, and in the future.

“Christine will be joining our team in Peterborough, working closely with the existing specialists there, as well as working with our colleagues in Kent.”
