Seeing Opportunity

Sarah Swadling meets an organic beef farmer in Worcestershire who built a successful ready meals business.

Where some might see just a farm, Oliver Surman sees a whole host of opportunities. He started a food business on his family's farm near Upton upon Severn, in Worcestershire, which now produces thousands of ready meals a week. As Sarah Swadling hears, he didn't stop there, with organic beef, Christmas turkeys, and music festival camping among the farm's enterprises. Oliver looks ahead to the future with plans for a water sports centre in a lake created by gravel extraction.
