NEW FERTILISER PLANT IS GOOD NEWS FOR GROWERS

Pictured outside the newly opened IAWS fertiliser blending plant at Immingham docks, Lincolnshire are Richard Clark, left, and sales director Mike Pater both of IAWS, with Calum Findlay of Gleadell Agriculture in the centre.

Calum Findlay, Gleadell fertiliser manager, welcomes the new plant at Immingham and IAWS’ long-term commitment to both Gleadell and the UK agricultural industry.

He believes the company produces one of the best products in the market place. “Our sales of PK and NPK are growing year on year against the market trend,” he says. “I put this down to our ability to source good product and supplies through a close working relationship with IAWS, combined with the growth of Gleadell. These two factors allow fertiliser produced by IAWS to have an excellent route through to the market via our network - which can only be good news for our farmer customers.”

The state-of-the-art operation opened three weeks ago, consisting of an 80,000 square foot purpose-built warehouse equipped with the UK’s most modern computer controlled plant for both bulk and bagged fertiliser products.

And says Richard Clark, fertiliser sales manager with IAWS, it also has the added advantage of a deep water port which will enable the facility to reduce vessel costs and take in a wider range of top quality raw materials.
