We've had this wonderful footage sent to us from David Sampson. It shows our old Canadian Ford Lime Spreader doing a hard days work at a farm near Pattingham in the late 1950s.

In the first video of the old Canadian Ford being loaded and spread on flat ground, it shows our former employees and family friends George and Phillip.

In the second video of the vehicle spreading lime on an incline, we can see the spreader was modified to have spinners on the back. We used to use mainly paddles and although we aren't 100% certain this one is ours, it more than likely is.

Thanks again for these amazing videos David!! John loved seeing them and taking a trip down memory lane.

A look back into our history.

82 years ago, our founder, Mr William Holliday Ratcliffe started hauling in and out of Sudbury Station.

Pit props for the coal mines came from the Cannock and Needwood areas to assist with the war effort. This is where Bill met his wife Peggy and the business grew from there.

Bill transported sugar beet from local farmers to Sudbury station to be sent to the factories via train and used in the production of Sugar. Waste beet pulp was sent via train then truck back to the farmers to be used as animal feed.
