Dents of Hilgay is a family run farm shop and garden centre that grows their own produce. Recently they have been expanding and building a new extension. As such, my primary responsibilities were to run the farming side. Key Achievements:• Have been hired multiple times throughout university holidays which show that I am dependable, hard working and a good team member.• Working to a deadline as I had to send out farm produce on time.• Be versatile in day to day activities. One day I could be harvesting, the next, working on the build site.• Working long hours in peak seasons.• During harvesting, I would be working as a team to get the produce processed and dispatched on time. However, during land preparation, I would be working on my own which requires personal drive.
