Marion Regan MBE

Brought up on the farm in Kent, I gained a First in Botany at Oxford then a Masters degree in Horticulture in the US. Since 1987 I have worked in our family farming business, Hugh Lowe Farms Ltd, which I now own and run with my husband Jon, supplying quality soft fruit to multiple retailers. I am a Director, and former Chairman, of Berry Gardens Growers, the soft fruit grower’s co-operative, and of its marketing company BerryGardens.

I am a Trustee of the East Malling Trust and formerly a Trustee of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew. I was awarded an MBE in 2014 for services to the fruit industry.  My interests are sustainable horticulture, wildlife conservation and equestrian sports.
