> Spread costs over 12 months with our Priority Support Service

Many clients enjoy the peace of mind that comes from paying an agreed amount each month. This then gives you priority access to our team, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with unlimited HR advice along with specific services that are tailored to you.

More about us

Do you know we support veterinary businesses too?

We’ve helped veterinary practices to build strong teams and improve communication with their clients. Our approach is simple, but it works.

Benefits of working with us

Managing your workload is a challenge. Wake, work, eat, sleep, repeat 7 days a week. We know how much you do on your farm – it is amazing what you get through.

Yet your biggest challenge is people management. Whether that is caused by a member of your family, an individual in your team or the whole dynamic. People problems are always the hardest ones to solve. So whether you’re finding it hard to recruit staff or worried about whether anyone will succeed you. Don’t struggle alone.

> Save time, reduce staff turnover and boost productivity

When working with us, clients say they save time and reduce staff turnover, which lowers their costs and stress levels. Business performance goes up too, through improved yields because when farmers are working in harmony with their teams they’re more likely to be calm and patient.

> Better meat, more milk and higher yields

Anxiety and stress in farmers leads to anxiety and stress in cows. It is a fact. Researchers at the Norwegian Veterinary Institute have identified a clear link between the behaviour of farmers and their cows. Leading to better meat and more milk. https://sciencenorway.no/agriculture–fisheries- animal-welfare-cows/happy-farmer-happy-cow/1407800

> Our clients tell us we make a big difference

We know we make a big difference to the lives of farmers, their families and their teams – because they tell us. And we especially appreciate it when they acknowledge our contribution when winning important industry awards.

Successful clients say

“

REAL Success were integral to our farm being awarded the Farmers Weekly Dairy Farm of the Year in 2016 and I’m delighted that Real Success remains part of our team of consultants and with the impact their work has made to our bottom line.

“

We’ve taken advantage of the Priority Support Service that REAL Success offer and one of the key aspects that we’ve found essential is to be able to call someone who knows the law and how to avoid the pitfalls of getting employment issues wrong. The advice we get is simple, straight forward and easily understood. We’ve found it invaluable.

We have taken advantage of the agricultural recruitment service for our dairy farm enterprise. The additional service of profiling candidates has ensured that new recruits have fitted into our team. It’s so hard finding the right staff and working with Paul and his team makes the whole process much less demanding on us and more effective overall.
