Last year we held our very first Big Apprenticeship Day – bringing together apprentice butchers, chefs, and farmers for a day of inspiration from industry leaders, conversation and debate about the future of our industry and how young people can influence it, and even a hands on butchery class led by one of our very own Master Butchers! We had fantastic feedback and everyone was so enthusiastic about the day – so we’re doing it again this year.
Already we have had great interest from a number of different establishments and colleges and have some fantastic speakers lined up such as Chefs Paul Foster and Andreas Antona, and European Butchery Champion Martin Crombie.
Rachel Barnwell, a livestock farmer taken in by Aubrey Allen as an Agricultural Intern said; ‘As a livestock farmer myself, it has been invaluable to me seeing the process of the food chain the whole way through – and it would be amazing to be able to give other young farmers and students the opportunity to understand what happens to their produce when it leaves the farm gates.’
