Red Tractor is inviting growers from the potato sector to apply to join the Fresh Produce Sector Board, which is responsible for advising on the development of the Red Tractor Fresh Produce technical strategy.
The current sector board has excellent input from growers, retailers, NFU and elsewhere and a vacancy has now arisen for a potato grower, ideally also with knowledge and experience of seed production and trade, and of the Safe Haven scheme.
Maintaining and enhancing the expertise and experience already present is important to ensure the Fresh Produce board considers all aspects of produce production across the UK and helps Red Tractor deliver its vision and strategy.
The individual should:
- Be supportive of Red Tractor and where possible facilitate the delivery of its vision and purpose
- Have a wide understanding of the practicalities and challenges within the fresh produce sector
- Be able to draw on a wide professional network of organisations in the sector
- Have good communication and influencing skills and be willing to act as an ambassador for Red Tractor
The Fresh Produce Sector Board meets three times a year in March, July, and November. The position is not paid but travel expenses can be claimed.
Interested individuals should send an email to application@redtractor.org.uk
Closing date: 31st June 2025
