ANM Group has launched a farmer advisory group in Caithness.
The farmers’ co-operative said the new group would help strengthen the company’s links between its base at Thainstone, Inverurie, and its outlying mart at Quoybrae in the north.
Chairman Pat Machray said: “As a farmers’ co-operative, ANM Group is committed to growing its membership in the north and delivering the benefits of membership in the area. Caithness Livestock Centre is an important part of our core division – Aberdeen and Northern Marts – and to the businesses of our Caithness members and customers delivering a range of special sales to meet their needs in the county.”
The new advisory group will be led by Stephen Sutherland, who has been appointed chairman.
He said: “We are pleased with the formation of the advisory group and look forward to working together with ANM’s management team, and our members and customers to discuss improvements to operations and how the centre can best serve the Caithness farming community.”
The other members of the group are: Arnott Coghill, Donald Hymers, Iain Gunn, Rodney Brass, Andrew Mackay and Billy Campbell.
