Working across the UK, our sporting experts provide management advice and guidance on all aspects of shooting, fishing and deer stalking. 

We deal with every kind of sporting estate, from grouse moors to low ground and wild bird shoots, and from fishing to stalking. In each case we customise our shoot management advice and services to the specific needs of landowners, estate employees, professionals and consultants, to maximise the potential of all types of sporting property, in terms of capital, income or total returns.

Insightful guidance; maximising capital and releasing income from sporting estate

We work mainly for private clients but also for charities, institutions and others who own property that can be used or let out for sporting use. Many of our rural surveyors share a broad understanding of the sporting management field, providing consultancy services across all parts of the UK.

This ensures we are ideally placed to help clients with the sale and purchase of sporting estates, selling and letting salmon fisheries, the valuation of sporting assets, day-to-day management, general consultancy advice, staff recruitment and employment matters, rating appeals, health & safety issues, strategic reviews and ‘health checks’, adherence to statutory regulations (eg SSSI, SPA and SAC), liaison with stakeholders like Scottish National Heritage and Natural England on issues such as common grazing rights and devising ways to balance sporting and agricultural interests across an estate.
