Am moving to Buckinghamshire reasonably imminently and looking for recommendations for a decent farrier and a trainer, either jumping or dressage. Any suggestions?

I don't think my farrier would travel that far so won't suggest him although he's very good.
Trainer-wise I would heartily recommend Ann Bostock. She's a BE coach and really is a true coach rather than just instructor. She trains with Judy Harvey. She's helped me with every aspect of competing/training and is so positive and encouraging, but quite a taskmaster. If you google her you can find her details or PM me for her number if you're interested.
You're also welcome to come over to my yard for Baydale jumping sessions (assuming we can continue to persuade her to trek over!)

I'm too far away to be able to suggest farriers (although for dentist Grant Chanter is good).
You are in Ernest Dillon territory though (jumping), you'll either love him or hate him, but I'd certainly suggest at least giving him a try.

Where abouts, bucks is a big place! I think you said you were going to be near Milton Keynes so not a million miles from me so I might have some recommendations.

I use Ian Cast for my instructor, he's fab. Only does dressage though as far as I know. He's best friends with Charlotte DuJardin!
Farriers - Adrian Spilsbury, Jason Evans, Matt Alderman
Let me knopw if you need any numbers

Oooh welcome to Bucks!
Farrier, without a doubt would have to be Matt Alderman, have sampled the area's farriers and he is without a doubt the best and my horse's feet have never looked so good. Don't know how far he travels but would imagine its a broad area.
