Lindsay Whitelaw | Ambassador


Lindsay co-founded Artemis in 1997 and former Chairman of the Artemis Charitable Foundation, Shivia’s longest standing and closest corporate partner.  Lindsay is one of Shivia’s Ambassadors and has been crucial to the development and success of Shivia.  It was Lindsay who believed in Olly’s vision and helped to turn it into a reality through financial and moral support as well as great encouragement.   Thanks to Lindsay’s input we have developed manuals documenting our Poultry, Agricultural and Goat farming programmes as well as introduced family field trips where Artemis colleagues and their children visit our operations in West Bengal, a source of great joy for all involved.   Lindsay has hosted many important events for Shivia including our ten-year anniversary evening in 2018.

  • Agri-management Services has the capacity to deliver lasting change for our farmers. I have always felt that the farmers feed our nation while they can hardly afford to feed themselves. What an irony. So if my team and I are able to help farmers earn a sustainable income through agriculture, there’s nothing better than this.
