I am currently in my third year at Harper Adams University studying BSc Agriculture. For my placement year, I have the opportunity to join Bradford Estates as a the Land Management Student. Despite not having a farming background, my fascination with the agricultural sector stems from my deep appreciation for the outdoors, coupled with my love for activities such as fishing, cycling and sailing.

Prior to joining the Estates, I gained hands on experience working on farms during harvest seasons, in addition to my first two years of University. I believe working for Bradford Estates presents an excellent opportunity to further my understanding of the day-to-day operations involved in managing a large business within the agricultural and estates sectors.
