Buildings and equipment company Quality Equipment has reported a record number of enquiries from pig producers at this year’s British Pig & Poultry Fair.
“The UK-wide enquiries stretched across both days of the event, and we’re still receiving more as a result of visits to our stand,” Quality Equipment director Graham Baker said.
The interest has been in both buildings and equipment and he believes this is a result of new investment, not just refurbishment.
“There seems to be a new level of confidence within the industry, and producers appear to be modernising and re-equipping, to become more efficient,” he added, “and are also expanding in some cases.”
