Emily Wood

REGIONAL POLICY MANAGER

Emily joined the NFU in 2023 and comes from an active farming family in Leicestershire.

After graduating from Harper Adams University with an honours degree in rural enterprise and land management in 2016, Emily went on to qualify as a rural chartered surveyor. She is a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and a fellow of the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers.

As of July 2024, Emily has taken over the role as Regional Policy Manager.

Emily’s background is in private practice, advising clients on a range of matters impacting rural property and business, which means she has an acute awareness of issues facing farming members. She also specialises in infrastructure projects, planning issues and matters affecting the tenant sector.

Outside of work, Emily spends most of her time enjoying the countryside, often with her gundogs, and cooking for her family and friends. A keen traveller, Emily has spent time working on cattle ranches in Texas and Oklahoma.
