For the private sector Rural Futures provides practical professional services to individual rural businesses and community enterprises seeking to develop, expand and diversify.

The business grew from the Lancashire Rural Futures (LRF) programme that operated for over nine years. During this period the work of the team became a national example of best practice in the way it created and translated strategy into delivery. This experience has provided the Rural Futures team with a unique skill set that links public policy and programme delivery with the business, community and environmental sectors.
