Becca Spink

Born in Norfolk, Becca moved to Suffolk for a one-year industrial placement with BQP as part of an agriculture degree at Harper Adams University. She was fortunate to be offered a graduate position with them and over the next 14 years, held a variety of roles across the trials and commercial teams, working closely with customers, and ultimately taking on responsibility for the company’s breeding and free-range production. These experiences gave her a broad and valuable insight into pig production and the wider agricultural industry.

Alongside her work at BQP, she and her husband Robert have built their own agricultural business from his 60-acre family farm in mid Suffolk. Over the past decade, they have expanded to farm 600 NZ Romney breeding ewes and additional store lambs over winter, and also developed pig growing accommodation for 5,500 wean-to-finish places, operating two two-stage production systems. Becca now works part-time in her family business and part-time for Rattlerow Farms as an account manager in the sales team.
