Employer Description:
We are an independent family-run company, based in Moreton-in-Marsh, that now works with over 15,000 farmers across the UK, supplying everything from green manures, cover crops and herbal leys to dual purpose long term leys and silage leys.
Established fifty years ago by Robin Hill, Cotswold Seeds, now led by MD Ian Wilkinson, has built a reputation for specialising in bespoke seed mixtures and practical expert advice. Specifically tailored to the needs of each field, mixtures are designed to improve soil fertility, reducing the need for costly inputs and benefiting animal health.
Our experience and in-depth knowledge has meant that we are often approached to advise landowners and organisations, from the National Trust to water authorities and environmental organisations, and are increasingly involved in research and educational projects with universities and colleges.
Our small team of highly experienced technical advisors are on hand to share their specialist knowledge on a one-to-one basis. Bespoke mixtures tailored to individual requirements and fast delivery (providing the seeds are available!) ensure you are getting the best mixture for the job, quickly.
Training Provided:
BPP apprenticeship training programmes are delivered virtually by our fully qualified and industry-experienced training team. Using their expert knowledge, we’ve purposefully built our programmes around the real-world use of modern technology, so that the skills we create can be directly applied in the workplace.
Throughout the apprenticeship learners receive coaching, help and guidance from a dedicated team who are there to ensure they get the most from their work experience.
Duration: 18 Months
Skills Required:
· Interest in finance as a career
