Riverside Feeds Limited Acquisition

Duffields Animal Feeds has strengthened its position in the South West.

Duffields have acquired Riverside Feeds Limited near Honiton, near Exeter, strengthening Duffields’ position as manufacturers of animal feeds for farmers across the South West.

The acquisition best-places Duffields to meet the needs of its existing customers in the region as well as providing trusted animal feeds for new customers.

Duffields will maintain the trading title of Riverside Feeds Limited for the foreseeable future.  All current Riverside Feeds staff will retain their roles as part of Duffields’ acquisition and Sally Dare will continue in her role as General Manager.  Riverside Feeds will continue to manufacture animal feeds in bulk and bags for the beef, dairy, sheep, pig and poultry sectors.

Alistair Duffield, Chairman and Managing Director, Duffields Mills Limited, said: “Duffields’ is one of the UK’s leading animal feed businesses and our acquisition of Riverside Feeds Limited best-places us to service the needs of livestock farmers across the South West.”

“The acquisition complements our existing presence with Duffields (South West) Limited in Yeovil and allows us to reach out to a greater number of farmers in the region.”
