Farming background

I have grown up within the agricultural industry, with both my Father and Grandfather both working on farms. At 15, I started at Plumpton Agricultural college completing L1 in Agriculture on a part time basis alongside studying for my GCSE's. On leaving school, I embarked on a full time apprenticeship at a Farm, Tarring Neville. Once my apprenticeship was completed, I was lucky to be offered a full time role and remained at the farm, gaining a vast amount of practical experience in both arable and livestock farming. My employment here came to a natural end due when the herd was dispersed.

I have since gone on to work for a Contractors as a tractor driver, the role is predominantly tractor driving using a variety of implements. I have been with them for the past three years, developing my skills and experience.
