NFU Poultry Industry Programme 2024/25, Assistant hatchery manager, midlands
I studied Bsc (Hons) Agriculture with Livestock Production at Hartpury University and am from a poultry background, having grown up around the turkey breeding and hatching business my dad is a general manager of.
I’ve been with PD Hook for around two and a half years, joining on a placement and staying as a graduate.
I know a lot of people who have done the PIP and they’ve all been encouraging me to have a go.
It looks like you get so much out of it and I’m also quite into politics so the programme really appealed to me.
