Apprentices wanted by seed specialists

A leading UK seed and plant breeding business based in Spalding is offering two people the chance to become apprentices.
Elsoms prides itself on its culture of investment, passion, expertise and integrity, which has ensured that the company continues to adapt and fulfil the changing demand of its customers, suppliers and partners.
As part of its continued growth, it is looking for two horticultural trial apprentice assistants to be a part of its team.
Elsoms Seeds managing director Robin Wood said: “We believe investing in this apprentice scheme allows the opportunity to train new staff with a strong interest in the horticultural industry in various disciplines that could both benefit Elsoms and the appointed personnel in the future.
“We are very keen to attract new entrants who wish to make a career in the seed industry and be a part of our team.”
As well as gaining an industry recognised qualification, the apprentices will complete high quality work experience and benefit from specific industry training. They will also grow a network of professional contacts and gain invaluable experience in this sector by working as part of a specialist and committed team.
Elsoms head of breeding Sue Kennedy added: “Elsoms is committed to apprenticeships and trainee schemes and look forward to providing many new opportunities across a variety of areas within the business.
“Many of the staff skills we have at Elsoms in plant breeding, seed production and trials are extremely specialised. We are keen to ensure we maintain this expertise within our team while at the same time passing the knowledge on to a new generation.”
Elsoms are working alongside the University of Lincoln, Holbeach Academy to find the right candidates and all applications should be made directly to them.
