Mill seeks guides and stewards

Jordans Mill, located between Biggleswade and Broom is looking for people who can help out in different roles.

Volunteers are sought to work as tour guides.

Guides welcome visitors on tours and provide engaging tour experiences of the flour mill.

Having knowledge of the area is advantageous, as is previous experience of public speaking.

There are also vacancies for stewards who can welcome visitors to Jordans Mill.

They accompany guides on tours of the mill and also provide support to visitors and staff where it is needed.

Jordans Mill is open daily from 9 am to 5 pm.

Shifts are for half a day, either from 9.30am to 1pm or from 1 pm to 4.30 pm.

The minimum commitment the mill asks from volunteers is half day a week, plus half a day at weekends once a month.

Jordans Mill dates back to 1896 and has been restored so visitors can learn about the town’s history and heritage as a focal point of milling.

Trustee Bill Jordan - who founded Jordans Cereals with his brother David in the early 1970s - is keen to spread the word about how important Bedfordshire was in providing food to other parts of the country.

The Jordans were originally farmers but later took over the mill, which in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was quite ahead of its time.
