The Farmers Mart Apr/May 2016 - Issue 45 | Page 76

Northfield Agricultural Services Ltd the business in an already established area. We always work very hard but there are limits. We enjoy working with our farmers who vary from 100 acres to 7,000 acre farms and estates – and we try to treat everyone the same with the best possible service.” A measure of their support for the farming community was the fact that on Saturday the Northfield premises were host to the 70th anniversary of the Patrington Young Farmers, so after the open day a marquee interior was going up in the workshop for the event making an amazing transformation. A most generous gesture. The anniversary ball was a great event attended by a very enthusiastic 240 people. The guest speaker was Sophie Wells the British Para-Equstrian who won 3 medals at 2012 Summer Paralympics. The most popular Massey Ferguson and Fendt tractors sold at present by Northfield are the MF 7618 (180hp) and its new variant MF 7718; and the Fendt 724 (240hp) and 828 (280hp). One other sector that Northfield in which has become a useful name to know is in retail finance, as George explains. “We are registered credit brokers and as such we carry out finance for products over and above those we sell ourselves - including biomass boilers, solar panels, lorries and cars. We’ve even financed an Aston Martin, but I don’t think the man’s name was Bond!” George recalls his cricketing days when he used to bat alongside Hull City’s legendary striker, Chris Chilton. “Chris was fit. He’d be there and back running while I was still running the first one! I never miss watching the Tigers and go with my youngest grandson Jack, Richard has two sons his other son is Daniel who is in his final year of A Levels at Wyke College in Hull & a keen member of Patrington YFC”.
