Jonathan Davies Joins FERN

The Future Economic Network (FERN) is thrilled to welcome Jonathan Davies as the first member of our network for 2023. Jonathan is a seasoned leader, known for his role in creating the Cumbria First political party in 2019 and for his work with rural and business communities in the UK and beyond.

As a member of FERN, Jonathan will bring a wealth of experience and insight to our mission of driving economic development in rural areas. We look forward to his contributions to our publications and events, and to the valuable perspective he will bring to our organisation.

As we move into 2023, FERN is focused on building upon the successes of the previous year. If you missed it, Director, Kevin Beaty, provided expert testimony on land usage to the House of Lords, as part of the review into the sector by government.

and we will continue to participate in events across Europe and to support the global rural development community. We are excited to see what the new year will bring and are honoured to have Jonathan as a part of our team.
