For anyone who is brought up on a farm they’ll know that there is always a job to be done.
From a young age children are ‘encouraged’ to lend a hand: picking tatties in October, feeding animals during winter, looking after newborn lambs in spring or helping with haymaking in summer.
Having this work ethic instilled from a young age remains with them throughout life, something 30-year-old Graeme Chalmers knows all too well.
Graeme, who is group operations manager at Oldmeldrum-based oil and gas service company Flowline Specialists, was brought up in a farming background and had a strong work ethic drilled into him by his grandfather and mother. It is something that has stood him in good stead throughout his career, particularly when he returned to studying recently to complete his SVQ5 in Management.
