Hutchinsons have purchased Norman and Spicer Agriculture Limited, a long established family business that provides agronomy advice and inputs and equestrian products, including specialist feed and animal health.

The Norman and Spicer business operates within an approximate 30 mile radius of Daventry, Northamptonshire and is a very good fit with the existing Hutchinsons coverage in neighbouring areas.

Mark Spicer will continue to operate in the roles of both agronomist and MD of Norman and Spicer, with wife Ann handling the sales of animal health products alongside business administration.

Their colleagues Sally Timms, responsible for stores and administration and delivery driver Neilson Stirling also transfer across in to the new business arrangements.
