I’ve worked on the Farm for nine years, and it’s been an incredible journey. The trust and freedom we’re given helps to create a supportive environment built on teamwork and pride in what we do. It’s rewarding to know our efforts produce some of the finest apples and pears in the UK, and the company goes the extra mile to support the local community with experiences like tractor runs, Biddenden Tractor Fest, and school talks. I’m truly proud to be part of it.

Kevin Dawson Farm Technician

I’ve been with the business for three years, starting as a Bin Mender Supervisor before progressing to Yard Supervisor. During that time, I’ve received extensive training on a range of machinery, gained my forklift licence, and been trained to operate a 360 digger. The opportunities for development and hands-on experience have really helped me grow in my role.

Working at ACG has been fantastic. It’s a relaxed, supportive environment where you’re truly valued and appreciated. I’ve gained great experience as a driver and even been trained to operate a forklift. It’s rare to find a company that makes you enjoy coming to work every day — but ACG does exactly that.

From my first day, I was made to feel part of the family — everyone knew my name and made me feel welcome. I’m proud to work for a company that values its people, supports their growth, and shares a common goal to keep moving forward together.
