News & media exploits!
We’d love to have one of those swanky news pages with lovely PDF versions of the articles we’ve been featured in for you to read right here and now (perhaps even with turning pages)… sounds so easy… but sadly it’s not.
So – liking the simple things in life – I’m afraid for the time being all we can put here are links to some of the features and articles we’ve appeared in… if you’d like to read them in the flesh, why not pop along to a course? I’ll happily show you my clippings!
Our TV Work
It all started with the BBC’s first ever Lambing Live.
That catapulted us into the world of TV filming, voice-over recordings and make-up ladies! Since then Great Tre-Rhew has appeared on TV many times, Kate became the One Show’s resident farmer and she now covers health and welfare issues at Crufts for Channel 4 (or as she calls it: “My annual lambing holiday!”)
Check out our YouTube channel to see just a few of our broadcast appearances.
