| B & G Spreaders Ltd | |
Established in 1972 as the contract spreading service for JHB.Some years later JHB merged with Cambridgeshire and Essex fertiliser spreading contractor, Tom Griffin. Tom's professional attitude to customer service and an eye for detail transformed B&G into the professional contactor that it is today. Eventually JHB bought out TG and now B&G is a wholly owned subsidiary of JHB operating out of Denham, nr Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. B&G were the first company to bring state of the art spreaders, the Big A to the UK in the mid seventies from America. A revelation to the UK farmers as the machine was capable of spreading an acre per minute. At one stage B&G were operating 10 machines across the UK, either in hand or under franchise agreements.B&G still operates the three wheeled Big A's and Terragator,s but have more recently invested in 4 WD drive self propelled Multidrive made machines. These are capable of not only conventional spreading but also row crop operations aswell.Infact all our machines have satellite guidance fitted as standard and are capable of being inch accurate on all operations. This is backed up by Raven or Dickey John controllers. The machines can hold between 6 - 9.5 tonnes depending on type and grade of fertiliser and with the low ground pressure tyres they can float across stubble or ploughed land with the greatest of ease leaving vey little compaction in there wake. B&G regularly spreads in excess of 120,000 acres each year. Covering most of East Anglia and parts of Lincolnshire. Specialising in sugar beet and high rate potato grades but are capable of spreading to rates as low as 100 Kgs / Ha.
