British Wool has announced the acquisition of the wool handling operations of Kent Wool Growers (KWG) based Ashford, Kent. British Wool will continue to operate from the existing depot in Ashford and to market wool on producers’ behalf returning the true market value for their wool. KWG is a farmer owned co-operative, that offers a range of farming services.

KWG has provided a wool handling service to British Wool on a sub-contract basis for many years.

The recent opening of the new British Wool collection centre in Ropley, Hampshire, has brought the Ashford operation under their ownership and control. This further emphasizes British Wool’s ongoing commitment to providing a quality, reliable and effective service to all producers in South East England.

British Wool is a non-profit making organisation, returning to producers the market price for their wool, less its own costs. (RR)
