🐄🐑 National SQP Week 2026 🐑🐄

This week we're celebrating our fantastic SQPs (Suitably Qualified Persons) across our Aspatria, Longtown and Plumpton branches.

SQPs are trained Animal Medicines Advisors who help farmers make informed decisions about livestock health, medicines, parasite control and animal welfare.

Whether you need advice on worming, vaccines, fly control, mineral supplementation or animal health products, our team are here to help.

A huge thank you to all our SQPs for the knowledge, support and practical advice they provide to our farming members and customers every day.

We are missing our two Sarah's & Helen from these pictures!
