OUR STORY
Land-based Training Provider
Hush Farms began with the seed of an idea to make training a very mobile and very practical service that can take place at your workplace with your equipment — giving you all you need to know to apply your learning to your real work situation.
ABOUT HUSH FARMS TRAINING
Meet Penny and Jon Bond, the faces behind the training.
Penny and Jon are farmers themselves – now with a small holding of around 90 sheep, three horses, three dogs and a few field mice it's more of a hobby, but back in the day Jon managed a farm of more than XXX livestock and XXXX acres of arable. It's that practical experience that led the couple to see how difficult it can be to fathom the world of HSE, LANTRA & NPTC, and then locate qualified competent instructors, all while you're busy trying to focus on your actual job.
Post farm management, Jon became a trained college lecturer and was a senior manager at Devon's only remaining agricultural college. In 2004, he was selected by the DTI and Devon & Cornwall Enterprise Agency as a volunteer Mentor and Specialist Adviser for rural business. Jon is a qualified land-based instructor and assessor with LANTRA & NPTC, instructing the safe handling of a vast array of machinery, equipment and livestock.
The couple founded Hush Farms (formerly JB Training) as a land-based training company in 2003. Over the years, they have expanded their business to work with some of the best training instructors to be found across Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Cornwall and Wales – making it easy to bring the training to your place, or to hold it at one of their many sites.
