Herefordshire-based CXCS Group is celebrating after being recognised as British Agricultural Business of the Year at the Farmer Rural Awards 2026, held in Shrewsbury on Thursday 22 October.
The awards brought together businesses and individuals from across the agricultural sector to recognise achievements, innovation and dedication within British farming and rural communities.
CXCS Managing Director Karen Powell and Lucinda Rees attended the ceremony on behalf of the business, joining fellow finalists and industry representatives for an evening celebrating the sector’s achievements.
The recognition is a significant moment for CXCS, whose team works alongside farmers and rural businesses, providing practical advice, guidance and support to help them navigate the challenges and responsibilities of running their businesses.
Karen Powell, Managing Director of CXCS Group, said:
“We’re absolutely delighted to receive this recognition. It’s a fantastic achievement for CXCS and, most importantly, for our whole team.
“What made the evening particularly special was hearing such lovely comments from others within the agricultural industry. Knowing that the work we do is recognised and valued by others means a great deal.
“Our team genuinely cares about the farmers and rural businesses we support. They work incredibly hard, and this award is a reflection of their dedication, knowledge and commitment.
“We’re very proud of what we’ve achieved together and grateful to our clients and everyone who has supported us along the way.”
With strong roots in Herefordshire and the agricultural community, CXCS continues to support farming businesses with the advice, expertise and reassurance they need in an increasingly complex working environment.
The award provides an opportunity to recognise not only the business’s achievements but also the people behind its continued success.
