Apprenticeship Stories

We have had a successful few years with our apprentices and long may it continue!

One of our Apprentices who graduated this year, Sam Crichton (from our Framfield Depot) won John Deere Apprentice Of The Year at the graduation ceremony!  We are very proud of his hard to achieve this! This has now been two years in a row a Tuckwell Agricultural Engineer has won this award, with last year being Jack Ramsey from our Ardleigh Depot.

Every month we have a spotlight on employees and Jack Ramsey was put forward a couple of months ago!

He has been nominated by his manager Alan Van De Merwe.  Alan says  ‘Even though I have just started working here at Tuckwells, Jack has made my job a lot easier when advising customers. He has worked some long hours this harvest and never complains when he is asked to do something! He is very pro-active reference diagnosing, ordering, and completing any job. Once the job is complete Jack writes it up, and signs it off – we very seldom ask for anything reference his paperwork, which is a bonus! For a young man he has a lot of knowledge to give and competent in his job roll, as well as being very patient with any apprentice. I have a feeling he will be a very big asset for myself and the branch going forward.’
