The purchase brings together two family businesses with a combined 330 years’ of trading history supplying the farmers of Northern England and beyond.
B Tickle & Sons Ltd will continue to manufacture ruminant feed in broadly the same manner as it has previously done, and will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of B Dugdale & Son Ltd.
Barclays assisted the purchase. Steve Berry, relationship director at Barclays, said: “The unification of two long established family businesses, represents job security and opportunities for the employees of both companies. It also ensures that a strong independent ruminant feed manufacturer continues to serve the industry in the northern market place.”
