Opportunities with BQP
BQP is actively growing to meet the demands of its retail customer. BQP is looking for farmers to undertake both breeding and growing management contracts.
The basis of these arrangements is that the farmer provides the on-farm facilities such as land, equipment, buildings, labour, straw and water and BQP provide the livestock, feed, vet and fieldstaff support.
These arrangements have worked well over many years, since BQP started in 1979 and several farmers have worked with BQP for over 20 years and often 2-3 generations.

Fresh Start
Fresh Start is an initiative designed to support and provide business knowledge to entrepreneurial new entrants, from both agricultural and non agricultural backgrounds, looking to set up their own businesses. In January 2011 we launched the first specialist academy designed to support and provide knowledge to new entrants into pig farming as the demand for quality British pork continues to grow. Due to the success of Fresh Start 2011 we are launching a second Academy in January 2012. Please click on the links for more details or contact sophie.hope@dalehead.co.uk
