Downland has announced the appointment of a new franchisee, Tynedale Farm Services, who will be distributing Downland products to farms across Cumbria.

“We are delighted to welcome Martyn, Peter, and their fantastic team into Downland and look forward to working with them to grow sales of Downland products across Cumbria.”
Tynedale has been an established supplier to livestock Farmers across Cumbria for 54 years and moved into its Wigton branch 30 years ago.

We believe the added national expertise of Downland can help us to make a real difference to the farmers of Cumbria.
