Alice Bamford mourns partner Ann Eysenring after cancer battle
Alice Bamford, heiress to the £10 billion JCB diggers fortune, has lost her long-term partner Ann Eysenring after a battle with cancer. The couple, who met nearly 20 years ago in Los Angeles, built a life together centred around their shared passion for sustainable farming and luxury retail. Alice Bamford, the daughter of Lord and Lady Bamford, grew up in one of Britain's wealthiest families. Her 21st birthday celebration at the family's Daylesford estate drew 200 guests, reflecting the Bamfords' prominence in business and society. Years later, she moved to Los Angeles, where she met Ann Eysenring.
The two went on to co-found **One Gun Ranch**, a biodynamic farm that became a celebrated project. Their work extended to **Ranch at the Pier**, a boutique in Los Angeles showcasing the ranch's carefully selected products. The venture gained attention not just for its quality but also for its eco-conscious approach, attracting figures like Dame Joan Collins and Cara Delevingne. Alice and Ann were known for their dedication to the ranch, often describing it as the place where they felt most fulfilled. Alice's mother, Carole Bamford, also took pride in their success, seeing it as a meaningful extension of the family's values. Together, they raised three young children while growing their business, blending family life with their professional ambitions.
Ann Eysenring's passing leaves behind a legacy tied to One Gun Ranch and the life she built with Alice Bamford. The couple's work in sustainable farming and luxury retail has left a lasting mark on Los Angeles' shopping and agricultural scene. Alice has since paid tribute, calling Ann 'one of one'—a reflection of their deep personal and professional bond.
