My first year as MD and what a fantastic year. Although it has been hard work, I have found it rewarding on so many levels and I can’t believe how quickly the season passed.

We have now completed our three year programme to replace all our online packaging machinery not only to ensure you always get the correct fill whether it’s packed by volume or seed count, but enabling us to be more efficient and able to pack additional quantities to keep up with the growing demand for our products.

Once again, on behalf of myself and staff, we would like to thank you for your continued support and custom and look forward to receiving your orders in due course in whatever form of communication suits you. Please feel free to contact our experienced staff to discuss any queries you may have. Please don’t forget our telephone during normal office hours are always answered by a real person and not one of those annoying answering machines! Finally, may I take this opportunity to wish you a healthy, happy, successful growing season.
