    Billington Group completes purchase of Carr’s Billington Agriculture

    The Billington Group has completed the purchase of Carr’s Billington Agriculture Ltd (CBAL) from Carr’s Group PLC, becoming the sole owner of the business.

    Since 1998, CBAL has operated as a joint venture between The Billington Group and Carr’s Group PLC under 50:50 ownership. A deal to sell Carr’s Group’s stake was brokered in August, with the completion happening earlier this month.

    The Billington Group chief executive Gary Blake said: “Following our initial announcement in August we are delighted to have completed our agreement to become sole owners of Carr’s Billington Agriculture Ltd. I would like to thank Carr’s Group for working closely with Billington’s for the past 20 years to grow the business to where it is today.”

    Mr Blake added: “As a fifth-generation, family-owned business we are committed to developing and investing in all areas of the business for the long term and we have already started working on how we improve our business for the long term.”

    Carr’s Billington is the largest supplier of rural and farming solutions in the north of the country, offering feeds, machinery, animal health products, seeds, chemicals, fuels, tools, equipment and clothing.

    As part of the deal, a new managing director, Richard Quinn, has been appointed. Mr Quinn said: “We’d like to take this opportunity to first and foremost reassure our valued customers that this deal completion will not impact their more immediate interactions with Carr’s Billington.

    “Looking forward, however, we do have some exciting plans to improve our operational systems and processes in the background, with the specific aim of improving the reliability of service our customers expect to receive from us.

    “The Carr’s Billington business has evolved considerably in recent years, and we are looking forward to introducing the infrastructure and investment required to support the high-quality of personnel we have on the ground and in the field.”
