FACILITY IN THE PORT OF IMMINGHAM
Gleadell
Agriculture is the third largest grain merchant in the
UK and a major exporter of grain. From our offices in Lincolnshire,
East Anglia, Midlands, Wiltshire and North Yorkshire we trade 1.5
million tonnes per year supplying customers at home and abroad.
We are a major supplier of imported grains and fertilizers to UK
consumers, merchants and farmers and have a rapidly growing quality
seed business to farmers across the UK.
Due to excellent working relationships with our
farmer-customers and hauliers, moving grain off farm is carried
out quickly and efficiently, which is important to both the farmer
and our overseas buyers and domestic mills.
Our purpose-built facility at the deep-water dock
of Immingham has a guaranteed
loading rate of 5,000 tonnes per day and can load at over 1,000
mt per hour. Our flexible loading policy ensures quick turn-around
of the vessel for the benefit of all concerned, with the current
record loading-rate standing at 10,000 tonnes in a day - equal to
340 grain-wagon movements. We export to Spain, Portugal, Italy,
Egypt, and Ireland… wherever there is a demand for British grain
and we are at the forefront of developing new markets alongside
our shareholders AC Toepfer International and Union Invivo.
Quality
control is essential and we have rapid, accurate sampling,
plus the latest analytical methods at our on-site laboratory at
Immingham and our purpose built larger facility at our head office
site at Hemswell.
Traditionally known as major exporters we now play a key
role in the supply of wheat, barley and pulses to domestic
end-users , such as flour mills, feed mills and maltsters.
The opening of our Southern office
has also resulted in loading at ports in that area in Dover, Thames
Ports, Poole, Southampton, Portbury and Avonmouth.
