When utility companies come knocking, it’s rarely straightforward. Whether it’s water, electricity, gas, or telecoms, the reality is that these companies often need access to farmland to carry out works. However, with that access can come disruption, damage, and loss of income. That’s where GFW comes in.
Our dedicated team of experts specialise in negotiating with utility companies on behalf of farmers and landowners. We ensure your rights are protected, your land is respected, and most importantly that you receive the full compensation you are entitled to.

We understand agriculture, we understand land, and we understand how utility companies operate. That combination makes us uniquely placed to secure the best possible outcome for you.
