New Immingham grain store gives export

Gleadell Agriculture managers, Mark Voase (L) and Owen Hughes (R), celebrate the opening of the company's new store at Immingham, located at the heart of the UK's grain-producing farmland.

"The new £3.26 million store can hold some 25,000 tonnes of grain and will give farmers a full drying facility at an end user destination without the need for their capital commitment," announced David Sheppard, Gleadell's managing director. "The mobile shiploader at the facility can handle 1,200 tonnes of grain per hour – giving us the capacity to load in excess of 250 wagons of UK grain for export in a typical loading day."

"Our Immingham facility handles wheat, barley, oilseed rape and pulses – all destined for customers in the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Scandinavia, Ireland and destinations outside the EU," Mr Sheppard added.
