Yara UK has demonstrated its commitment to
growth and the British farming industry with
investment at two sites in Liverpool and York
A new terminal at the Port of Garston, near Liverpool, will provide handling, storage and bagging facilities for bulk
cargoes from Yara’s plants in Europe and is ideally placed to supply valued customers in the north-west of England and
North Wales.

Garston expands
Yara’s existing
network of port based terminals –
at Immingham, Swansea and Ayr

packaging products relevant to the
cropping of local farming
businesses and I will be able to
offer an efficient delivery service –
the right products, in the right
place, at the right time.”
Again demonstrating Yara’s
positive response to business
growth and its customers’ needs,
a £1million investment has been
made in storage and logistics at
their Chafer branded liquid
fertilizer plant at Elvington near
York.
As a result of the investment,
Yara’s storage capacity in the area
has increased and more efficient
processes can be adopted
including a new ‘one way’ system
for vehicles on site. The project,
which included the dismantling
and replacement of a 60 year old
building, was successfully
completed between the end of one
season and the beginning of the
next.
Darren Glegg , Yara’s Business
Manager for Liquids explained: “It
is Yara’s reputation for high quality
products, service and delivery to
farm which enables the business
to expand and this could not be
compromised whilst the necessary
work was carried out. What made
the project particularly pleasing
was that it was planned and
managed entirely by Yara
production personnel.”
