THIS VIDEO WILL GIVE YOU A GLIMPSE OF GLEADELL'S EXPORT FACILITY IN THE PORT OF IMMINGHAM


Elevator LoadingGleadell 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 Elevatorguaranteed 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.

Elevator tippingQuality 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.
