20 RICKERBY OPEN EVENT APR/MAY 2020 • farmers-mart.co.uk With WW2 behind them, Joseph and Douglas were able to set about expansion of the business with some aggressive takeovers of smaller businesses. They built new branches at Penrith and Hexham. They also commissioned today’s head office at Currock Road in 1964. Sadly, Joseph was killed in the 1970’s in a tragic car crash, leaving Douglas at the helm. Rickerby continued to flourish as Douglas’s three sons Antony, John and Paddy, all followed tradition and entered into the business. All of them having that Rickerby ethic and talent for business. The group business continued to grow, there were new depots at Alnwick, Cornhill on Tweed, Bowburn and Holme in Lancashire. Today’s clued up contractor knows Tornado’s R8/80/22 is THE ultimate livestock fencing. Not only is it far easier and faster to install the 22cm spacing provides real benefits for your customer too. Safe and secure for sheep; preventing animals getting their heads stuck in the fence and losing ear tags, at a price your customers will love. For you: the smooth Torus knot allows netting to be effortlessly pulled around the turning posts and the solid vertical stay wires means the fence pulls up well. And if all that wasn’t enough we are also giving you a chance to find one of 10 golden tickets.
