About Us
With a turnover of in excess of £220 million, the business has grown to become the leading national agricultural and horticultural input advice and supply company. Hutchinsons takes a dynamic, forward-thinking approach to supporting grower clients in the production of quality crops and food in a sustainable and responsible manner.
Agriculture and horticulture have always faced fluctuating
conditions and prosperity and the industry is once again experiencing a
period of significant change. After several decades where food security
has been low on government agendas and householders have enjoyed high
quality food at relatively cheap prices, the current situation has seen
the unit price of staple foodstuffs like bread, milk, eggs, vegetables
and meat increase significantly.
At Hutchinsons, long term commitment to customers and staff continues
to ensure that the business will be able to successfully meet the needs
and improve profitability of farmers and growers in the future.Hutchinsons
recognises that the people working within the business are the
essential ingredient in maintaining and enhancing the quality of service
offered to their customers.
This philosophy, allied to technological
advances and continuity of management has proved to be a key strength. Hutchinsons
employs over 350 staff, of which more than half are directly involved
with customer service and agronomic relationships. Behind the
front-line agronomists are an efficient and dedicated team of stores
personnel, delivery drivers and office staff who provide high quality
customer support and service.
