Ahead of the start of 2024’s British berry season, British farmers’ Hall Hunter, has launched an extensive recruitment programme to entice seasonal workers to join their team.
With an impressive yield of over 8,000 tonnes of British soft fruit grown by them last year, the Company supplies to all major UK supermarkets with British strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
Fruit pickers are required with valuable industry experience, the company has a 70% employee return rate, along with above-average pay, full training, and high-standard on-site accommodation.
Hall Hunter has three picturesque farms in the southern British countryside – the farm group has an innovative crop system, which sees strawberry crops on a tabletop system, meaning berry pickers can pick quality berries in greater volumes at a faster pace.
Harry Hall, Managing Partner of the Hall Hunter group says: “Fruit picking and harvest work is rewarding but it’s also quite physically demanding. This is why we strive to make sure our teams have time to relax and have fun during downtime.
