For Joanne Lampkowski, joining AMC as the new Regional Agricultural Manager for Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire felt like a natural career choice, because she grew up in North Lincolnshire hearing about what it is like to make a living on the land from her grandparents. Since joining Lloyds Banking Group in 2005, Joanne has worked closely with organisations of all sizes to identify and access the right funding strategies to support their growth. Its a role she looks forward to continuing at AMC. Ive already seen that AMC plays an important part in the region, helping many farming businesses to succeed, she says. I look forward to maintaining and growing that presence and reputation. Joannes initial approach has been on ensuring the sector sees business as usual and has access to a finance specialist who can work with them to support long-term borrowing needs. Ive already visited many customers, agents and professionals and been impressed by the resilience of the sector here. I look forward to continuing those visits, working alongside farming businesses to structure finance that best supports their long-term development.
