The three businesses trade up to 1.5 million tonnes of feed raw materials per year, and all three operations already share the same principles and aims of providing a high-quality service, competitive value, and professional guidance to create long-lasting relationships with customers.

Integrating the three businesses will enhance market coverage, improve procurement capabilities, and create a strong platform from which to take advantage of the growth opportunities that exist across the UK feed sector.

The integration is an important element in Wynnstay Group’s three-year transformation initiative, Project Genesis, which aims to create a stronger, more efficient operating model, better capable of supporting the Group’s long-term growth ambitions. The initiative is coupled with major investment programmes, which together support Wynnstay’s desire to be the supplier of choice to UK farmers.

The integration is an example of what we are aiming to do generally under Project Genesis – which is to make Wynnstay a stronger, fitter business, better able to support our customers and to evolve for long-term success.”
