Jemma Clifford

Director & Co-Founder The Rural Business Awards

Rural specialist Jemma Clifford was a director of four companies before the age of 30. A rural surveyor by training, Jemma changed career path when she retrained and became Director of, and invested in, a Nottingham-based Marketing company located in the East Midlands but operating throughout the UK, Jemma’s businesses enable firms to make the most of their markets, customers and environment.

Jemma takes a no nonsense approach to marketing tools allowing businesses to navigate which tools are best suited to their end goals. This originates from assisting rural businesses diversify to only be approached by some marketing companies that rarely considered the overall picture and sold them things they really didn’t need!

Jemma is incredibly passionate about all things rural coming from a Farming and Fieldsports family.

Jemma regards The Rural Business Awards as one of her greatest achievements to date, to which she owes Anna Price as instrumental to it’s success.
