Due to popular demand and to factor in these challenges Lantra and Landex are extending the nomination deadline to 11:59pm on Sunday 30^th June 2024

Therefore, they are urging employers, colleges, private training providers and universities to nominate outstanding candidates for a prestigious award before the end of the month.

Danny Clarke, who trained as a garden designer at Hadlow College said: “The quality of the nominations we have had so far is truly amazing. We know there’s been a lot happening in education in the last few months, so I am really pleased to see the deadline has been extended. I am really looking forward to a great evening, celebrating some incredible learners – so make sure you nominate your learners today!”

The Awards ceremony will be hosted by Danny Clarke on Thursday 21^st November at the National Conference Centre in Birmingham. The evening is set to be an exciting celebration of talent in the land-based and environment sector.

It’s a cutting whizz!

This cordless mower offers significant power for all your cutting needs due to the mono powerhead that has a 1 x 48V 5Ah battery, there is even a space to hold another spare battery within the powerhead too if desired! The mower features a 46cm cutting width and 6 heights of cut ranging from 22-65cm that can easily be adjusted using the central lever over the rear wheel.
