We’re looking forward to attending the New Forest Business Show next week.

Events like this are a great opportunity to speak to local businesses about the challenges they’re facing right now and for many trades businesses, the same themes keep coming up:
💷 Managing cashflow during quieter periods
👷 Finding and keeping skilled staff
🧰 Protecting tools and equipment

👇 Which of these is having the biggest impact on your business right now?

It’s clear that while every business is different, many are facing very similar pressures.

We’ve recently pulled these insights together into a short trades sector overview.

👉 If you’re attending, come and have a chat or drop us a message if you’d like a copy.

Earlier this year, one of our Private Clients experienced a deeply distressing burglary at their home. That night, at 10:30pm, Jack from our Private Clients team was already on the phone with them, making sure they had someone to talk to and guiding them through those first difficult hours.

Over the days that followed, Jack stayed in touch to check how they were coping and keep them updated. A loss assessor was on site within the week to help start putting things right.

Here’s what they told us:
“My claim was handled incredibly professionally and quickly.
Jack was extremely empathetic… He checked in regularly to ensure we were ok and updated us on the progress.
I would highly recommend Jack and NFU Mutual New Forest, Isle of Wight and Bournemouth.”

🌾 It’s Open Farm Sunday! 🚜

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Open Farm Sunday! A truly special day that connects us all to the world of farming! 💚

There are hundreds of farms opening their doors, all offering different activities. From tractor rides, and farm walks to meeting the animals and learning how our food is produced! 🐄🌱

👉 Which farm are you visiting this year?

🌾 Save the date! 🌾

Open Farm Sunday returns Sunday 7th June 2026, celebrating 20 years of connecting people with farming, food and the countryside. 🚜🐑

It’s a fantastic family day out – step onto a real working farm, meet the farmers behind our food, and discover how farming works.

Behind the scenes, farms rely on a wide network of local trades businesses, from machinery repairs and construction to electrical work, all helping keep operations running day to day.

But for many, tool and equipment theft remains a real and ongoing challenge, especially in more rural or isolated locations.

More than 7 in 10 tradespeople surveyed by NFU Mutual in January 2025 had experienced tool or equipment theft in the previous year, often causing disruption far beyond the immediate cost.

👇 Is this something you’re seeing more of locally?

If you find this insight useful, we’d be happy to share it, just drop us a message.

We were recently invited to Stansted Park’s corporate reception, and what a blast John and Clare had!

It was fantastic to catch up with everyone in such vibrant, stunning surroundings. And we can’t not mention Clare showing off her archery skills… what a shot! 🎯

Not long until we’re back setting up for Stansted Summer Festival as sponsors for a second year! 💛

We might not have a stand this time, but you’ll spot our trusted banners and flags around the site, and some of our team will be there enjoying the festival as guests.

If you haven’t already, grab your tickets and get ready for a truly special weekend - https://orlo.uk/bt1iq

Cashflow remains one of the most common challenges for trades businesses.

Inconsistent workloads, slow payments and rising costs can all make planning difficult, even for established firms.

👇 What has the biggest impact on cashflow in your business right now? Late payments? Fewer regular contracts? Rising materials costs?

We explore this alongside skills shortages and operational risks in a short trades sector insight.
