🌾 Supporting the Route to Rural
At FBR Seed, we are proud to support rural education and careers.
This summer, FBR Seed Director Jenni Douglas volunteered on a RHET school visit to a local farm. For a group of 8- and 9-year-olds, it was a chance to see first-hand where their food comes from, from the livestock and the butchery process to the crops that end up on our plate.
Early education is what builds the next generation of rural professionals, and we’re proud to play our part in encouraging careers in the rural industry. Alex Turnbull, our graduate surveyor, first joined us for a work placement during her fourth year studying Rural Business Management at SRUC.
The hands-on experience she gained set her up and we were delighted to see her hard work paid off when she graduated with a first-class honour's degree. After completing her degree, Alex joined the FBR Seed team in a permanent role and now works across the departments within FBR Seed from valuations to land and farm sales and more.
From education to building a rural career, we’re proud to support the Route to Rural.
