Gregoire Besson UK Appoints New Storeman
Gregoire
Besson UK has expanded its Bourne-based team with the appointment of a new
Storeman, Bertie Wynne.
Bertie,
aged 19, is responsible for the management of the company’s store room, as well
as assisting with the fitting and maintenance of machinery that arrives at the
company’s head quarters before being forwarded to the customer. Gregoire Besson UK (GB UK) also rents office
and storage space to Horsch at their new Lincolnshire site, and Bertie is
responsible for managing their store as well, dividing his time equally between
the two companies.
With
a background that includes working as a window and conservatory fitter; a
supermarket assistant; and a garage mechanic, it was Bertie’s time spent on Dodd’s farm in Graby Lincolnshire in 2010 that really confirmed
which industry he wanted to work in.
“I
am passionate about mechanics, but I also loved the time I spent working on the
farm so when I saw the advertisement for this position at Gregoire Besson UK I
had to apply!” explains Bertie.
“I
have been here for nearly three months and I am enjoying every minute. Not only does it allow me to combine my two
passions, but working for both GB UK and Horsch means my role is very
varied. It also gives me the opportunity
to learn new skills alongside people who have extensive experience of the
industry, which I’m looking forward to,” adds Bertie.
This
latest appointment ends a successful year for Gregoire Besson UK, which has seen
the company move into its purpose-designed headquarters on Spalding Road in
Bourne, Lincolnshire; celebrate its 20th anniversary; and the
retirement of Managing Director, Bill Immink.
“It
has been a busy but fantastic 2011 for us and we are delighted to welcome
Bertie on board at this exciting time,” says the Managing Director of
Gregoire Besson UK.
“His
knowledge of mechanics and passion for the farming industry really made him
stand out for the 90 applicants we had for the position. He has already proved to be an invaluable
member of the team and we’re sure he will have a bright and long future here at
Gregoire Besson UK,”.
