Born, raised, and still living on the south coast, Max’s connection to the Forest runs deep. It’s shaped his work, his values, and his outlook on life from the very beginning.

At just 25, Max already balances multiple rural roles with ease. He runs an independent Land Rover specialist business, taken over from his father, alongside managing farm life and continuing his work within land-based industries. With a background in agricultural engineering and years spent travelling the world as a marine fuel injection engineer, his experience stretches far beyond the Forest gates. Yet it’s the pull of home, the land, and a hands-on way of life that always brings him back.
