Spring has sprung at last, and while we are busy helping our customers prepare for the Easter & Bank Holidays, with daffodils out and winter coats put away – we had to spare a thought to those people down in the South West of the UK – many of whom are still struggling with the aftermath of the flooding. Their winter will not be so easily forgotten!! So to that end, when we received a call from the Suffolk Young Farmers desperate to find transport companies who might help them move forage from here down to Bridgewater – our Transport Operator, Joe, managed to rustle up 4 vehicles and support this worthwhile endeavour.
Suffolk farmers supplied the forage, YF volunteers co-ordinated, gathered and loaded vehicles, Debach supplied the transport, Forkrent supplied the loading equipment and the Suffolk Agricultural Association supplied the storage hub – hopefully through this team effort our little county has helped make the seasons ahead more manageable for those in the SW trying to look after stock & horses.
We must also say a big thank you to our newest customer Besana UK Ltd, who will be fully operational with us by April, in assisting us with back-loads from the SW at this time. It was a great way to start our new partnership, with this forward-thinking Italian food company.
