Rob Field
Landscape and outside works contractor, and Club Leader at Hailsham Young Farmers Club
"Hi, I’m Rob Field, one of the sustainable futures award judges.
I’m a landscaper and outside works contractor and I also help my wife, Anna, with her business selling garden irrigation online. I’m the club leader at Hailsham Young Farmers Club where both my daughters are members.
I love the countryside and like to walk with Anna, we try and do our 10,000 steps most days. I like to design and build things in my workshop. Currently I’m building a jubilee beacon for Herstmonceux made from an up-cycled lamppost and old copper fire hood.
I put myself forward to judge the sustainable futures award because it interests me. It’s a new award and I’m hoping to learn from the traders who have entered."
