Who we are

The business is managed by Mark Stevens and a team of 4 office staff, who are supported by an additional 19 staff including tractor drivers, lorry drivers, telescopic handler drivers, mechanics and grain store operatives, all working together as a team, much of the time competing with the trials of the British weather.
