Event organiser, Harrison & Hetherington Operations Director, David Pritchard, said: “We are delighted to announce the date for this year’s Borderway Agri Expo, the event has gone from strength to strength since its inception nine years ago.  Each year the quality of the livestock exhibited and the class of trade stands grows, which in turn attracts an amazing number of visitors to our Borderway site.  With the support of our sponsors we are looking for another outstanding year.”
