Cefetra has arrived in Shropshire

1 September 2022

Having established a new grain trading office in Whitchurch, Shropshire and created two new significant employment positions.

We continue to seek out new opportunities – this is now the seventh Cefetra office to open outside of its Scottish headquarters and one which is seen as a significant milestone.

Simon Wilcox, Farm Grain Origination manager, says: “With Shropshire being a strong arable crop growing area in the West, near where we have a number of important feed customers, it presents us with a great opportunity to develop a strategy for this region – the first step being the opening of this new office and establishing a strong presence in the region.”

Welcome to the team Joel and Anne 

Locally based Joel Wade and Anne Davies have been appointed to head up the new office located in Combermere near Whitchurch. This will help to support our existing customer base in the North-West with home-produced grain, wheat and barley, we will also be in the market to buy oil-seed rape to fulfil existing sales in Manchester and Liverpool, whilst also looking further afield.

Cefetra intends to add additional farm buyers to the team in due course, as we continue to extend our network of supportive, friendly, customer-focused team members.

Joel comments: “Shropshire has a wealth of good and strong arable areas and we’re looking forward to getting to know our local farmers and even setting up our own networking events in due course to get the Cefetra name out there!”

Anne adds: “Our approach to working with the farming community here in Shropshire will be built on great relationships and helping them to gain the best prices for their grains. We have both worked in the area for some years and know the industry well – and that will enable us to hit the ground running.”
