Fane Valley ‘delighted’ with deal to take on top supplies firm Morton’s
Trevor Lockhart, and (right) William Gilbert a supplying and distributing organisation rather than milk handling, and has been doing it very successfully.
“This latest deal shows that they’re confident that the new direction they are going in is going well.
“Milk had become a very fine margin business and it’s now been consolidated for Fane Valley into another business.
“I also hope that this move will benefit Fane Valley’s members.”
William Gilbert, managing director of the Germinal Group, said: Morton’s has grown into a highly trusted and respected agricultural merchant serving farmers all across the province.
“Everything we have achieved would not have been possible without the hard work of our staff and the continued loyalty of our customers.
“On behalf of all involved with Germinal, I would like to put on record our deep gratitude and appreciation for the support the business received from the community over many decades.
“Fane Valley is a trusted, locally owned business with a strong and growing reputation in the supply of a wide range of farm requisites and technical support services.”
