According to managing director William Gilbert, the Ѓ900,000 investment was made in order to help continue the success of the British-bred Aber high sugar grass and Aber clover varieties, which – alongside a developing range of alternative forage crops – are meeting farmers’ increasing demands for higher quality home-produced fodder. “We now have 80,000 square feet of warehousing at the extended Witham St Hughs site as well as new offices and a modern laboratory,” he explains. “We have reduced our reliance on costly outside storage and centralised a lot of our GB seed cleaning and mixing procedures onto a single site, thereby increasing overall efficiency through a streamlining of operations.” “We shall continue to operate with a strong and important strategic base in the southern half of the country through our Avonmouth facilities, so all customers will benefit from this investment. This is a very positive move that is geared to enhancing all aspects of our operation in the future, from improved product storage and packaging to faster order response times.” - Ends - June 26, 2008 Note to Editors Germinal Holdings Limited is a major player in the agricultural and amenity seeds sectors, with strategic alliances, variety testing and market penetration throughout Europe, in North and South America, Australasia and South Africa.
