A Week on the Estate: Windy Milling, Victoria’s Visit & Nationwide Beef

“At South Ormsby Estate, we’re building a thriving local economy. We’re working hard on initiatives to support local businesses, create job opportunities and attract investment to our area. By taking the lead in these efforts, we can help our MP to build a stronger, more prosperous community.

“I’m excited about the potential for South Ormsby to be a catalyst for positive change, and I’m grateful to all the members of the community who are helping us in this endeavour. If you haven’t discovered us yet, jump in and get involved. Together, we can make a real difference.”

How do you think communities can best work with their elected representatives and contribute to the growth and well-being of their area? If you’d like to weigh in, head to the featured post on our Facebook page HERE.

Speaking of rural commerce, we want YOUR opinion on our beef. If you’ve tried Massingberd-Mundy Lincoln Red beef or would like to, we need to hear from you. We’re considering making Lincoln Red beef available for nationwide delivery in addition to our existing click & collect service. We’d be shipping fresh, chilled meat by overnight courier to customers across the mainland UK.

Does the prospect of nationwide, home delivery of fresh Lincoln Red beef appeal to you? Would it make it more likely that you’d buy our beef? Do you prefer fresh to frozen or vice versa. Any and all opinions are most welcome. Comment below the featured post on our Facebook page HERE.

Finally, we’re looking for several Graduate Trainees for one-year, fixed-term contracts.  Are you a recent graduate with a willingness to work hard? Are you keen to discover how a historic rural estate survives and thrives in a 21^st century commercial marketplace? Would you like to get hands-on with a range of job types and perhaps discover the one career that will grip you for life? If this is you – or you know someone who fits the bill – read on.

The South Ormsby Estate Graduate Training Scheme offers recent graduates the chance to apply their talent and enthusiasm to all aspects of our work. We don’t require any specific degree subject, but the successful candidate will be able and willing to make their mark in the various business enterprises that call South Ormsby Estate home. We particularly welcome applications from our local community in keeping with our commitment to reinvigorating the economy of East Lincolnshire.

The areas of work our graduates experience in a typical one-year placement include (but aren’t limited to):

– Business Management & Leadership

– Residential & Commercial Property Management

– Travel & Tourism

– Heritage-Breed Cattle & Poultry Management

– Commercial Sales & Marketing

We encourage entrepreneurial thinking. If at the end of their year a graduate can pitch us a compelling new business idea, we may well decide to back them and let them run with it.  We want our region’s young talent to carry our vision into the future, so long-term opportunities will always be on the table.
