π Meet the Team: Maciej Kolasinski. Iβm Director of Fruit Agronomy at Stewarts of Tayside and Iβve been here since 2022.
π My favourite part of the job?
Every day and every year is different. There are always new projects and new challenges, but the best part is working outdoors in nature, watching tiny buds grow into sweet, ripe fruit and seeing the results of all that hard work at harvest time.
π± How did I get here?
Iβve been working with soft fruit for over 20 years. I started out as a tunnel worker and machine operator, then worked my way through supervisor and manager roles by learning the day-to-day running of the farm.
π» A fun fact about me:
My degree is actually in Computer Science and Business Management, but these days my office is much more likely to be a polytunnel full of strawberries and raspberries. I swapped coding for crops, although I still use plenty of data along the way! ππ
