This year I will be based in the FCG WhiteAvon office in Chippenham and will be working with a different consultant each month. Currently, I have completed 2 months of my placement; these 2 months I have worked with the consultants Steph Emmerson and Andy Dodd.

During this time, I have also been able to attend two FCG training days, a graduate training day, full office meeting and many different events which the team have attended. As well as this, I have been travelling with both Steph and Andy to client meetings which have allowed me to meet many of you, existing clients.

The task has been presented for me to run their social media and website for this year which has allowed me to advance my skills and follow forward with my ambitions of going into agricultural journalism in some aspect. 

Within the newsletters which are produced each month, I will be giving an update of how my placement is progressing and an overview of everything which I have been able to learn and experience while training as a Farm Consultant.

If you have any questions about my placement or my time at Harper Adams University, please don’t hesitate to contact me on 07720 970422 or email annabelcandy@fcgagric.com
