Isuzu Seeks UK's Top Farm Worker

Leading pick-up manufacturer, Isuzu, is currently on the look out for the UK’s 2010 ‘Farm Worker of the Year’.

Run through Farmers Weekly, the award seeks Britain’s best farm employee – whether they be a tractor driver, herdsman, milker, shepherd, game keeper, sprayer operator, farm fitter, farm secretary or general worker.  The nominee can be male or female, working full or part-time.

The judges are looking for an individual who has made the most significant impact on the farm and the business.  They’ll be keen to see evidence of the nominee’s overall contribution to the business, including skills and experience as well as their influence with other staff.  Farm workers can nominate themselves, or be entered by the farm employer or farm manager.

Isuzu UK Marketing Director, Kenyon Neads, said of the award: “The ‘Farmworker of the Year’ award seeks to reward the endeavours of those who make a real difference in their place of work.  That’s why we wanted to sponsor it, because we feel the Rodeo pick-up is the perfect companion for these hard-working agricultural employees.”

To enter, simply download the entry form from www.fwi.co.uk/awards, complete it and then post it to: Farmers Weekly Awards, Quadrant House, Sutton, Surrey, SM2 5AS.  You can also attach it to an email and send it to linda.kimberely@rbi.co.uk.  The closing date for entries is 31 July 2010.
