She qualified as a chartered surveyor with George F White at Alnwick followed by five years in private estate management for Clark Scott-Harden. She moved back down to the family farm in Worcestershire in 2003 and worked for Carver Knowles and then John Amos carrying out a variety of professional rural work specialising in the Single Payment Scheme, agricultural valuations and rural grant applications in Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire.

Louise covers major infrastructure schemes  and compulsory purchase for NFU members particularly on HS2 and Nationally Significant Infrastructure Schemes. She has been involved with HS2 since it started giving evidence to the Select Committee on behalf of all farmers on Phase 1 and Phase 2a and is involved in regular meetings with HS2 Ltd, DFT and claimants agents trying to resolve issues on behalf of NFU members.  She has represented NFU members and helped many agents acting to present evidence at oral hearings for infrastructure schemes applying for  Development Consent Orders including numerous offshore windfarms, National Highways and National Grid  schemes across England.
