About Thomas Barnard

Currently studying BSC Horticulture at Myerscough College, in June 2023 I finish the last year of my degree. From June to September 2022 I worked for APS Group on the Isle of Wight to gain further experience in Fresh Produce. Previous experience in Ornamental Crop production at W.D.Smith & Son and Crop work at APS Group on the Isle of Wight. During my second year of the degree at Writtle I worked at Grenville Nurseries part time on weekends while manging my workload at University.W.D.Smith and Son allowed me to complete the level 2 and level 3 Apprenticeship's in Horticulture at Writtle University College. From 2016-2020 I gained many of my skills which I have brought with me onto the Degree. Practical met theory once I left W.D.Smith & Son and started my journey on the Degree. After my first year of the Degree at Writtle I organised a summer placement at APS Group on the Isle of Wight. While at APS I trained as a Crop Worker which involved crop maintenance on Tomato and Pepper crops. Experience June-September 2021.Returning to Writtle to start my second year of the Degree I decided to search for a weekend job to earn more experience. I worked at Grenville Nurseries who work with the wholesale and retail market of herbaceous, annual bedding, bare rooted, and root balled trees on the weekend while studying. At the beginning of the year I applied to be the President of the Writtle University College Horticulture Society. This allowed me to organise events, guest speakers and organise meetings for other students to take part in.Once I complete my Degree I am looking to work in the Fresh Produce sector as this area of work is of interest to me. I am also interested in working ae Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) companies. Most of my knowledge and experience is in Protected growing environments such as glasshouses and polytunnels but I am also interested in the sustainability of growing Fresh Produce in organic and sustainable setups. I am continuously improving my knowledge in all aspects of Horticulture while crossing into some aspects of Agriculture to deeply understand how to improve my understanding of the operations within the industry. References from previous employers and lecturers can be provided.

    September 2020 I started my first year of my Degree in Horticulture. I am set to finish my Degree in May 2023. I came onto the Degree at Writtle University College with 4 years experience in Horticulture already and was keen to learn more having completed a Level 2 and Level 3 Apprenticeship in Horticulture at Writtle. My previous work in Ornamental Production gave me a wealth of knowledge to bring with me into the Degree and gave me plenty of experience. I am aiming to achieve high while at Writtle and am continuing to grow as a student inside the University. I am also growing my connections in the industry to gain knowledge and experience. Between the months of June - September 2021 I organised a summer placement at APS Group on the Isle of Wight to gain more experience outside of the Ornamental industry. APS Group gave me lots of experience on working with Tomatoes for consumption which gave me new enthusiasm for the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable sector. After my time of the Isle of Wight at APS Group, I came back to Writtle to continue my second year. I decided to take on a new challenge of being the President of the Writtle University College Horticulture Society. This was an opportunity to organise events, guest speakers and organise meetings with the society while doing my studies.
