Speaking about his re-election, Clarke said: "At ifac, we are committed to providing top-quality advice and support to clients in the farming, food and agri-business sectors.

"I am honoured to have been re-elected as chair of this wonderful business.

“I am determined that we will continue our ongoing development of our services and offer unparalleled advice to help our clients deal with current challenges and any others that may arise, particularly with Brexit looming and its unknown challenges.”
