What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

AJB Spence & Son Limited, a rural company based in Reston, has submitted a planning application to Scottish Borders Council. The application requests permission to erect a new storage warehouse at the company's Bridgend base. The company supplies animal feedstuffs, additives, crop protection, agricultural seeds, and grain to farmers across the Scottish Borders, East Lothian, and Northumberland.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The expansion is intended to address space constraints that have occurred over the last three or four years due to increased business. The new storage space would allow the company to buy and hold more stock at a better price, improving service for local farmers. Once operational, the company hopes to employ three or four full-time staff members.
