Kelly Seaton

I returned to AHDB in September 2024 as Knowledge Exchange Manager for the West Midlands (Maternity Cover)

I previously worked for AHDB as a Knowledge Exchange Manager in Wales on the HerdAdvance project.

I will be covering the West Midlands region until August 2025 including Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and parts of Leicestershire. I look forward to working with many farmers in the region via discussion groups, workshops, strategic dairy farm events & more.

I live on our family dairy farm in Cheshire. I am an active member of Shropshire Holstein club with 3 young children actively involved in Holstein Young Breeders too. During my time away from AHDB, I have taken an active role in our farm management and day to day running of the business. I have interests in transition management, calf health, genetics & staff management. I have completed CEVAS training and hosted school visits to our farm. I have also completed media training and been involved in a small number of media interviews, giving a farmer perspective on current affairs.
