Roland Bull

Partner, Rural Investment at Bidwells LLP

By approaching problems with the analytical and intellectual rigor of an academic, Roland offers far more than formulaic land and property investment advice. Nine Oxbridge colleges, The Wellcome Trust, and several landed families deeply trust his objective and rational view of the rural investment market.

Roland leads the provision of management services and strategic advice for his client’s complex portfolios in the UK’s fast-changing rural investment market. He delivers acquisitions and disposals, manages lease arrangements and leads development activity, providing professional support in some of the UK’s most interesting and highly sustainable markets.

These green infrastructure and natural capital markets will form a significant part of the UK’s future green economy, but this ecology graduate is already a veteran in the space having delivered net gain in biodiversity during development for more than a decade across projects worth £15bn.

His understanding of ecological objectives, the economics of land management, policy and regulatory issues, and practical delivery is helping shape these transformative new markets through the innovative schemes and investment opportunities he delivers.

By applying the financial rigour he’s renowned for to green infrastructure markets and opportunities - forensically analysing risk, returns and liabilities - Roland is helping his clients seize some world-changing and rewarding opportunities.
