About Us

Rooted in Agriculture

Will Barker & Co was established in 2021 by William Harry Barker, following the amicable demerger of the agricultural department from the well-known estate agency firm Pygott & Crone.

William graduated from the University of Reading in 1997 and went on to join the business founded and led by his uncle, John Pygott. By the age of 26, William had become the youngest partner in the firm. With a clear focus on the agricultural sector, he later chose to concentrate exclusively on his core area of expertise. Together with a dedicated team, longstanding clients, files, and goodwill, Will Barker & Co was formed.

Our Approach

At Will Barker & Co, we are passionate about providing those within the farming community and wider agricultural sector with a high standard of professional, practical, and trusted advice.

Our strength lies in our experienced team, many of whom come from agricultural backgrounds, giving us a genuine understanding of our clients’ businesses and the challenges they face.
