Rooted in Agriculture. Built for Farmers.
Meet the team
Dan Derry
Founder
Dan’s journey in the agricultural sector started when he joined George Browns Ltd (LB) as a Service Manager. In this role, he not only managed his own branch but also Witney, which experienced temporary staff shortages.
During this mission-critical role, Dan discovered the real costs of poor and outdated software products. He later took on the role of foreman at BAM, which came to an end after he was made redundant due to the closure of the business and the sale of manufacturing rights to the LWC.
The combination of practical experience maintaining agricultural machinery as well as workshop management experience brings both operational depth and entrepreneurial energy to the business. Dan is now channelling his industry knowledge into building a modern, customer-focused agricultural software company from the ground up.

Working at the intersection of technology and business, he developed a strong foundation in scaling operations and driving commercial growth.

After graduating with a degree in Economics and a Master’s in Money, Banking, and Central Banking, Alex started his career in London’s financial sector before returning to his rural roots.
