I don’t know the answer to that. I do know the more I read about their farm the more impressed I am. They are certainly a “can do , will do “ kind of operation.

They seem to work on the basis that if you owe 100k it's your problem, if you owe the bank £10m it's the bank's problem.
Nothing slows them down.

33% wtf? They won? Must be a tidy yard and a big shed and plenty of business taking a bite of the milk cheque. Was that announced today?

 

[PDB]

Obviously, way above average performance— but hard to get a true picture of the fairy enterprise amongst so many businesses

They employ way above 200 people in total across farming/contracting/haulage/concrete/biogasss
