Househam Sprayers
Househam Sprayers is the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of top quality self-propelled and trailed agricultural crop sprayers and amenity sprayers.
Househam Sprayers
Designed, built and tested in Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire, our range of self-propelled machines uses ground-breaking technology to deliver a specification not often found on other machines available in the crop spraying market.
Furthermore, all Househam self-propelled machines have been designed with low weight and even weight distribution in mind. This minimises soil compaction and allows the machine to be used throughout the year, minimising weather delays and reducing the risk of diseases taking hold.
Househam is dedicated to producing leading edge technology which is designed to offer maximum efficiency and ' future-proof' our ever expanding range of sprayers. Customers are supported around the globe with an experienced network of service engineers and dealers', ensuring help and assistance is but a phone call away. Providing world class technical innovation, research and development and testing and manufacturing services to deliver exciting, effective and efficient concepts for our global customers.
With over four decades of success within the agricultural sprayer market, Househam is able to combine cutting edge technology devised by some of the industry's best engineers with precision manufacturing and speed to market.
The Vision of Househam
The challenges faced by agriculture are massive. The ever increasing world population relies on the food agriculture produces and this represents a challenge for the industry, globally, unlike any other industry has hitherto faced.
However, bringing more and more land into agricultural use can have detrimental effects of the environment by encouraging deforestation, which releases more CO2 into the atmosphere, and the draining of natural wetlands both of which increase the risk of flooding.
By protecting and improving the vast areas of soil currently under cultivation and maximising its productive capacity with advances in plant breeding, nutrient management, crop protection products and innovative application technology, we should be able to go a long way towards producing higher volumes of food which is healthier, safer and produced in a more environmentally friendly and sustainable manner.
Our aim is to use new and innovative technology to enable us, as leading manufacturers of crop sprayers, to produce machines which enable growers not only to apply crop protection products very accurately, but also to help protect soil structure by reducing soil compaction. Our links with the leading agricultural research bodies and our continuing dialogue with practical farmers and contractors helps us to produce leading edge crop sprayers which meet the needs of users around the world.

Engineering UTC Northern Lincolnshire
Our staff members believe that there is a sense of belonging when working at the ENL UTC and due to the unique learning environment it allows them to praise and acknowledge students successes and progression.
Engineering UTC Northern Lincolnshire
Engineering UTC Northern Lincolnshire, is a non-selective, publicly funded school for 13-19 year olds that aims to deliver well-rounded students into the engineering and technology industries through a specialist STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) education. With a focus on connecting education to industry, students receive an innovative concept of learning that combines technical, practical and academic learning. By doing so, it provides students with something more than the traditional GCSE and A Level curriculum. Exposing individuals to real-industry projects and industry experts, enables them to progress into their dream careers by gaining the skills, experience, knowledge, qualifications and confidence required by todays employers.
Opened in September 2015, the ENL UTC £12m campus is set in the heart of Scunthorpe town centre on Carlton Street, close to both bus and train stations. The campus contains some of the most up-to-date, cutting edge engineering, scientific and computer facilities in the country that provide engaging workshop spaces to learn alongside of the theoretical work.
There are currently around 50 UTCs throughout England that are spearheading a new approach to teaching engineering and technical skills to schoolchildren around the UK. Each UTC has been established where employers need them most and where there are pronounced skill gaps. This is what makes the ENL UTC so unique within the region, allowing the next generation of workers to get much sought after skill sets to make that rapid transition into the workplace.
As the ENL UTC is currently in it's third year, the school is continuing to grow. At the moment we employ around 28 members of staff including both teaching and support staff.
Every staff member employed at the school is passionate about not only their job role but also the schools vision and ethos. Staff do not raise their voices, the school does not have an isolation system and we respect the students as much as we would like them to respect us. The ENL UTC is very focused on the individuals and building those relationships.
From a recent staff survey it stated that 95% agreed or strongly agreed that the UTC was a great place to work, 100% agreed that the UTC has a great vision and that the staff force is well led, and the average staff morale was 8.73 out of 10.
Our staff members believe that there is a sense of belonging when working at the ENL UTC and due to the unique learning environment it allows them to praise and acknowledge students successes and progression.
My job role is as the ENL UTC Marketing and Student Recruitment Officer, and I love my job because every day is different. Not only do I plan strategy for the year, manage all digital platforms and arrange literature, I also get to work closely with students and industry partners to create a sense of engagement throughout the community. Every day I am involved in an activity, event, workshop etc. that engages the students to be more involved in promoting their school.
Recently we have had permission to open the school up to a year 9, meaning that the ENL UTC is one of the first UTCs in the country to be able to do this.
We are continuously progressing and opening up the campus to new, relevant industry machinery for the curriculum as well as engaging more with the local community, showcasing our student talents.

In addition to servicing the more traditional heavy engineering sectors such as Steel, Mining, Power Generation and Petrochemical, we also work innovatively in the Aerospace, Formula 1 Racing and Renewable Energy industries.
The manufacturing facility is based in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire and is close to the UK Motorway network and the Humber Ports for ease of transport of large abnormal loads. The workshop facilities total some 35,000 sq.ft. with overhead craneage of 40T single lift and machining capabilities of up to 5.6m diameter.
We maintain a regular workforce of highly trained, skilled craftsmen and have a proactive succession policy involving the recruitment and training of apprentices in all our core disciplines. This provides us with the stability of skills and retention of knowledge required to maintain the high standards to which they work.

We absolutely love what we do, and we’re passionate about the way we do it, and we’re looking for people who share this attitude.

We’re a charity and social enterprise, made up of passionate people, who care about people. We exist to improve lives and communities by delivering services for socially excluded and vulnerable people to unlock their potential and open up new possibilities.
Our vision is that every person has the opportunity to be a full and valued member of a society where social exclusion and isolation no longer exist. It’s that simple!
Everything we do is centred on our core values - being innovative, different, creative, focused entirely on being helpful in everything we do, being passionate about the people we work with, our determination to tackle problems that others won’t, and working together as one team.
P3 services are highly diverse; we operate housing services, community-based support, advice and guidance service
Apprenticeships too!
At P3, we have a track record in supporting apprentices to gain their qualifications, on-the-job experience and in many cases, go on to permanent employment.
Not only will you get training as you work, you will also be able to study for a qualification in your chosen subject; earning while you are learning. We will provide you with a buddy who will support you while you settle into the role. They will be an existing member of staff who has experience in the area that you are working in.
