🌾 About Us

Rooted in farming. Built on trust.

HarvestHawk was born in Cornwall, shaped by a life around farms and farmers, and driven by a simple belief: technology should lighten the load, not add to it.

A Cornish upbringing, a farmer's mindset

I was born in Hertfordshire but moved to Cornwall when I was three and grew up there. As a kid, I always wanted to be a farmer. Staying with my grandparents, I'd head out to watch the local farmer at work and follow the harvest. That upbringing shaped how I see the land: as livelihood, legacy, and responsibility.

HarvestHawk exists to honour that heritage by putting practical, trustworthy technology to work so farmers can do more, waste less, and protect what matters.

I also have nine years of policing experience across both Hertfordshire and Devon (Exeter): seven years full time and two as a Special Constable. Policing taught me habits farmers value: show up on time, prepare thoroughly, communicate clearly, act safely, and finish the job well.

"At a time when farming margins are tight and pressures are rising, my goal is simple: to help farmers earn more from every acre."

Bigger yields, fewer wasted inputs, and healthier soils all add up. When a field is healthier, the farmer behind it feels more secure, more in control, and more hopeful about the future. I want HarvestHawk to play a part in that, giving farmers tools that lighten the load rather than add to it.

The Name

Why HarvestHawk?

Harvest is what farming comes down to. The yield, the return, the reason for every early morning and late finish. Everything we do is in service of a better harvest: more from every acre, less wasted along the way.

Hawk means watchful, precise, and purposeful. A hawk sees what others miss from above. That's exactly what our drones do: spot the problems early, target inputs precisely, and give farmers a view of their land they've never had before.

Together, the name reflects who we are: a business rooted in real farming life, built on warmth and familiarity, but equipped with the precision and professionalism of modern drone technology. Local enough to trust, capable enough to rely on.

Barley, HarvestHawk mascot

Why Barley?

Barley, our mascot, is a reminder of the standard we hold ourselves to: watchful, loyal, and dependable. That's the feeling I want every farmer to have when we drive off the yard: we were in safe hands, and the job was done right.
