Roythornes has been serving businesses and individuals across generations for over 85 years. Our strategically located offices, including one in Spalding, are hubs of trusted advice to cover all eventualities. From individual clients going through some of the most difficult experiences in their lives to thriving national businesses looking to take their next steps at home or abroad, we provide a full spectrum of commercial advice. Our presence, in turn, benefits the community by being able to advise enterprises looking to provide jobs for thousands of people living in uncertain times. 

We currently employ over 200 staff and are actively seeking additional talented people to help us achieve of our ambitious growth plans. Our legal teams include paralegals, legal assistants, trainees, solicitors and partners – many of them specialising in a particular area of the law, while our professional business support teams include specialists in IT, operations, marketing and business development and HR. 

At Roythornes we put our people first – as a result many of today’s partners trained with the firm and are now involved in managing one of the UK’s top 200 law firms. The development of our staff into future leaders has been one of the key reasons for our impressive track record and we aim to continue to ‘grow organically from within’. 

We place training and development of our people at the heart of everything we do by offering an excellent succession programme offering a range of opportunities to grow and develop. We are very proud of our investment in our staff and environment and hold awards in both areas  Additionally, we have also been featured in the top 1000 companies to inspire Britain, and we regularly feature in the Legal 500, in particular for our skills in the agricultural sector, where we have been a consistently ‘first tier’ firm. Other teams are also mentioned for their work, including our litigation, commercial and family teams.

As advisers to businesses we are at the very forefront of business growth in the region. Acting mainly for farmers and food producers we are uniquely positioned in a market sector that is undergoing massive changes due to political, technological and environmental issues. This generates some incredibly interesting work from helping plant breeders develop new varieties of fresh produce to working with large businesses building robotic warehouses to meet the online delivery needs of some of the most high profile retailers in the UK. 

Our private client team handle complex tax and wealth management issues for the owners of these businesses and ensure that transitions between generations are made as smooth as possible. It's a challenging and exciting sector to be involved in and the work we do is equally as rewarding.

We source, pack and supply a wide range of high quality potato and vegetable products to the leading retailers in the UK.  Our products are grown by established and quality focussed growers, both here in the UK and abroad.  We work closely with our growers, throughout the growing, harvesting and packing of our products, to ensure that quality and traceability are maintained from “Field to Fork”. 

We also work constantly to find new ways to improve the taste, texture, appearance, and health benefits of our products through different growing techniques or new varieties.  Extending the seasons is also very important to ensure that we can provide our products year round, although some products, such as the Brussels Sprout, will always be seasonal.  Life here at Manor Fresh is much more than just putting product in a bag!

Our Exec Team believe it is important that everyone has the opportunity to add to their skills and shine.  Wherever possible we love to promote from within, many of our senior staff and managers have started on the “front line” of production, worked hard to learn the product and the processes and worked their way up through the business. 

For that reason we look for people to join us who have the right attitude towards work, who want to learn and progress.  We work hard, take tremendous pride in what we achieve for our growers and customers, but we have some fun too!

As an ever-expanding and developing organisation, there are many roles within Dalehead Foods that cater to a range of skills and abilities. This, along with a culture focused on training and development, presents countless opportunities for those that join the organisation to expand their horizons and experience new roles or develop new skills that they may not have considered before. 

With production at the forefront of Dalehead Food's recruitment focus, there are positions available throughout the entire process, beginning at Dalehead's BQP farm all the way through to dispatch as our product makes its way to supermarket shelves. Operatives within production environments are taught by dedicated trainers to make their way through graded positions which include learning knife skills, how to operate specialised machinery, and, of course, how to butcher meat to the highest quality and to the needs and requirements of our customers. 

Outside of production, a huge support system exists housing departments such as Health and Safety, Technical, Human Resources, Finance, Engineering and Planning. They act as the backbone of the organisation who, in return, offer dedicated development and further opportunities for those wishing to take them. One of our most exceptional development opportunities is our Apprenticeship scheme which has seen a number of successful candidates progress through their qualifications and go on to higher levels whilst joining the business and developing their skills further both in and out of production environments including Butchery, Abattoir, Engineering, HR, and Finance, with Health and Safety and Technical Apprentices soon to be joining certain sites.

We excel in offering events such as our popular children's Christmas party and have previously hosted summer fun days which brings people together and allows relationships and teams to bloom and strengthen in different environments.

Boston College is the top performing college in Greater Lincolnshire, based upon national achievement rates, and is in a strong position financially.

We have campuses in Boston and Spalding in Lincolnshire and we attract students in an approximate 30 mile radius.  We employ around 450 people in a range of full-time, part-time and bank roles with a turnover of £15m last year.  We are Boston's second biggest employer. 

Boston College is part of the public sector. This means that our focus is on being a positive part of the local community and enabling people to make the most of their lives.  Many of our former students tell us that the college has changed their lives.

Many people would think of a College only employing teachers or lecturers but we have a very wide variety of roles at Boston College. In addition to our qualified academic managers and teaching staff these include learner support staff, counsellors, vocationally qualified technicians and qualified professionals in roles such as finance, funding, estates, health and safety and human resources. All staff are expected to put the well-being and development of the learners as their first priority as they carry out their roles.  Extensive training and support is provided to help people excel in their roles and ensure we all reach our potential. Within our Small Animal Unit we have a range of animals and reptiles which need caring for 365 days a year so some staff will be in on Christmas Day looking after the welfare of snakes, not many employers can say that!

Employees have the opportunity to transform people's lives every day and make a difference, whatever their role at the College. FE is a remarkable sector with constant new challenges and our supportive culture of respect and inclusion with a diverse range of colleagues from all backgrounds make Boston College a great place to work.

The College aims to provide an excellent working environment enabling a good work-life balance.  We employ a wide range of people across all ages and try hard to reflect the local community in our workforce. We don't just employ teachers - there are a huge variety of jobs within the College including estates, marketing, administration and management as well.  There are opportunities to progress within both business support and teaching roles and we do look to promote internally where possible. 

We offer free access to a Health and Wellbeing service to all employees and together with generous holiday, sickness and pension schemes provide a supportive yet exciting place to work. 

Further Education (FE) is central to the development and growth of the UK's economy. Training to improve people's skills levels is crucial if we are to continue to increase living standards and compete internationally with the quality of our goods and services.
