Fullwoodhead Dairy Supplies has just celebrated its 40th anniversary in business.
Established by Alex Wilson and his wife Mareth in 1981, the company has gone from strength to strength, despite the untimely death of Mr Wilson in 1996. Back then, offers of take over were rejected, and with the help of friends and family and hard work, the business stayed in the family, with sons Brian and Scott, and their wives, Jean and Kyla, all playing a part.

The company has since substantially expanded its range and its reach, and won The Scottish Farmer Agricultural Supplier award at the Royal Highland Show in 2015.
"Our mission is to be a renowned and trusted name in the agricultural sector; to be synonymous with efficiency and expertise; to provide a quality service, carried out by fully trained and informed personnel," said Jean.
