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.

The Talent Academy concept was originally formed in June 2015 as an initiative by United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust to support engagement of younger people into its workforce.

Due to its success, the Academy evolved in April 2016 incorporating its Lincolnshire stakeholders to strengthen and support local partnership and the benefits of collaboration.  

Today, the Lincolnshire Talent Academy is an umbrella body made up of health and care organisations within the County.  Led by United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust, the Academy represents a wide range of stakeholders from the health and care sector.

What do we do?

The Academy delivers proactive services to aid recruitment and skills development of our current and future workforce, whilst also ensuring the portability and integration of skills across the health and care system.

As employers, we work with students, schools, colleges and universities in addition to other agencies such as the DWP to provide services for individuals from the age of 14 and above, all of which are delivered in partnership though our stakeholders.  Our remit includes careers inspiration activities incorporating the engagement of the education sector and delivery of careers guidance and work experience, through to the management of apprenticeship training and support for apprenticeship trailblazer standards development across our stakeholders.

With a common shared goal across all stakeholders – to adopt a “grow our own” culture within the county, the Lincolnshire Talent Academy provides the foundation for our collaborative approach to the engagement, recruitment and development of talent within the Health and Care community.

Coveris is a leading European packaging company dedicated to providing innovative, sustainable solutions that protect, prolong and improve the products we use every day. As a manufacturer of multi-format paper and plastic products, our goal is to deliver optimal solutions that work to reduce overall environmental impact for both packaging and product.

With over 15 sites located throughout the UK, Coveris is responsible for the supply of high-performance labels, films, cardboard and hybrid packaging solutions to all leading retailers, manufacturers and brand owners. Having recently received the award for Flexible Plastic Pack of the Year at this year’s UK Packaging awards for its Freshlife® extended shelf-life avocado packs for Tesco and Waitrose, Coveris is leading the way for environmental packaging with its Pack Positive® sustainability strategy.

Coveris’ UK business is headquartered in Spalding with a further five manufacturing sites in Lincolnshire.

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!

Founded in 1969, Dalehead Foods has grown into one of the UK's largest meat processors and prides itself on an outstanding reputation built on years of dedication and high quality service to customers and consumers. Dalehead Foods supplies fresh products including pork, bacon, sausages, cooked meats and lamb to household names such as Tesco and McDonalds, along with holding a special dedicated relationship with Waitrose. With a high focus on forward thinking and maintaining a reputable profile in an ever-changing industry, Dalehead Food's values reflect providing the best possible service to its customers, embracing creativity and innovation, and being a great company to work for.

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.

Dalehead Food's offers its colleagues endless opportunities to develop in a multitude of areas - both personally and professionally - and prides itself in excelling those who strive to achieve more and develop themselves. 

The culture at Dalehead Foods is one of it's greatest appeals. In addition to it's dedication to internal development, Dalehead also holds a "one team" mentality, combining efforts to support each other to achieve the values and goals of the organisation. Successes are celebrated as a group achievement and our outstanding stars are recognised with programs such as our Dalehead Diamond and Instant Reward schemes. Dalehead Foods has an incredible support network with multiple members of staff trained in both first aid and mental health first aid, as well as a mentorship program that provides an impartial ear to those who need one.

Dalehead Foods also offers great engagement both in and out of working hours. We support our current charity, Mind, with regular on site fundraising such as bake sales and competitions, and also recently put together a dream team to tackle a 5k fundraiser run! 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.
