Welcome new team in Stokesly, North Yorkshire
In February, Wynnstay acquired two businesses from the Armstrong Richardson Group – Armstrong Richardson Agriculture and the Yorkshire Green grass seeds brand.
This move grows our presence on the eastern side of the country, following on from the establishment of the GrainLink trading office at Grantham in 2019.
The decision was driven by the complementary nature of the businesses – AR has a grain trading office and seed business and, like Wynnstay, is a CF Fertilisers distributor.
The AR acquisition expands our operations in the North East, particularly North Yorkshire, Cleveland and Co Durham – the same team will work from the AR head office at Stokesley, but under Wynnstay direction.
This acquisition was important for Wynnstay and Grainlink, to further develop our offering, enabling us to bring our comprehensive product and service range to farmers in the eastern part of the UK. The new team themselves bring local knowledge and experience of speciality products like naked oats, plus the strength of the Yorkshire Green brand of grass seeds.
The superior criteria met by Hi-Gene Seed shows commitment to removing any potential problems for growers. This guarantee of purity is confirmed by reports from official seed testing stations – which frequently indicate that our seed is totally free from any impurity at all. The consistently high standard of our contracted seed crops means that Wynnstay has ‘bags of confidence in the quality of the product supplied.
