Bunns spreading service was established in 1972 and some years later merged with Cambridgeshire and Essex fertiliser spreading contractor, Tom Griffin to form B & G Spreaders Ltd.

Tom Griffin's professional attitude to customer service and an eye for detail transformed B&G into the professional contactor that it is today.

B&G is a wholly owned subsidiary of J& H Bunn operating out of Denham, nr Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

A history of Innovation

B&G was the first company to bring state of the art spreaders, the Big A, from America to the UK in the mid seventies. This was 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 Terragators, 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 as well.

In fact 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 that ensure even application regardless of forward-speed.

The machines can hold between 6 - 9.5 tonnes, depending on type and grade of fertiliser. With low ground pressure tyres, they can float across stubble or ploughed land with the greatest of ease, leaving little compaction in there wake.

120,000 Acres Per Year

B&G regularly spreads in excess of 120k 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.
