Hello and welcome!

My names Alastair Bourne, or Ali as most people know me by! I am the owner and heartbeat behind the business; Bourne Bespoke!

It had always been a dream to run my own business from an early age but this didn’t come to fruition until the end of 2018.

I was brought up on a family farm and I had a huge draw to machinery and that was in fact where my career path began. Having studied Agricultural Engineering with Marketing Management at Harper Adams University, once I graduated, I went to work for JCB and over a number of years, worked in various roles within the Agricultural Marketing department.

Mark – West Hill Manor Estate

“We first met Alastair of Bourne Bespoke in October 2023, We had a very overgrown area of shrub and brambles on the steep bank of a ridge and furrow field……..just walking the area was a serious workout, having spent a few hours with a brush cutter we decided something more substantial was required! Alastair visited to do a site survey…….I was expecting him to say the area was too steep…..instead he said “yep no problem, lets book a date in” A couple of weeks later Alastair arrived on site with the Green Climber fitted with a mulching head and set to work, within a few hours he was halfway through clearing the site, it takes a lot to impress us, but the change was unbelievable. The area has now been replanted with trees and is growing well.

Alastair has been back to complete clearance of various other “inaccessible” parcels of land around the estate ……..nothing seems to trouble the Green Climber. I can’t recommend Alastair Bourne enough…….he turns up when he says he will, works like a trooper and delivers an outstanding service. The landowner has a great saying “Don’t do your best, do what your best at” Bourne Bespoke are definitely the best!!”

Alastair and the Bourne Bespoke teams advice and service have been invaluable to our dogs day care and secure field hire business over the last 4 years. We have just over 3 acres of grass land that gets super high use and Bourne Bespoke help us to keep it in tip top condition for our customers!

It is always a relief when Alastair contacts us in early Spring to discuss how to restore our battered paddocks into something presentable, safe and nutritious enough to sustain our horses following our wet winters. Alastair monitors the weather with intent to optimise his visits and having the array of smaller machinery is perfect for our small scales. He’s also a lovely chap to have about. Thank you!

Penny Harman, Boylestone

Alastair has done my paddock maintenance for the last few years. The paddocks are now in really good condition due to Alastair’s knowledge. I have found Bourne Bespoke to be very reliable, helpful and trustworthy. No job is too small and they are prepared to go that extra mile to ensure the ground is well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bourne Bespoke!

Adrian S, Matlock

We recently moved to an old property that required lots of work doing to get the land back under control. We approached Bourne Bespoke and after an initial site visit, we were confident that Alastair could get the ground back to a managed state. We were absolutely blown away with what they achieved with their equipment. Alastair and his team were incredibly professional from start to finish and they work their socks off! We will definitely be using them for more work in the future! Thank you Alastair!

“We purchased a block of woodland when the neighbouring property came up for auction and unfortunately the previous owners hadn’t completed any maintenance for a long time. There were lots of fallen trees combined with dense Blackthorn which made parts of it inaccessible. Bourne Bespoke completely transformed it! Alastair’s passion for what he does really shines through! We now have a woodland that can breathe again! The thinning works have really helped and 18 months on, the trees are thriving as well as the woodland floor! We have Bluebells growing along with other wild flowers that we didn’t even know existed!”
