I’m currently working within the agriculture team at the Co-op as part of my placement year at Harper Adams. I’ve gained experience in a variety of sectors and it has been a fantastic opportunity to broaden my knowledge.

This has sparked a personal interest in the field of new product development within the beef and lamb sector. I’ve been very fortunate to have the security of the BDCI bursary behind me, which means that I’ll not only be able to complete my final year of university without having to worry about funding and general living expenses, but I will also be able to meet the financial requirements of conducting research and travelling for my final year dissertation. I’m extremely grateful to BDCI for the scholarship and I look forward to returning to Harper Adams after my placement is complete. Thank you all so much.
