Working with Machinery
Whilst utilising farm buildings is common, it is worth considering other forms of business. Self-storage, shooting events, solar farms or adventure parks are all opportunities to be had. Not all diversification requires large capital investments, more traditional types take advantage of the skills required on a working farm.
Making use of the farms current machinery assets can be very lucrative. Not everything needs to be owned, just the skills to use them.
The Machinery team can provide great rates on hired equipment -from excavators and diggers for ground clearance work to toilets and shower blocks. Groundcare equipment such as lawn mowers, chainsaws and tools, and ATV’s/quadbike can also be sourced.
Asset funding that may be needed to purchase any additional machinery/equipment or invest in technology can be provided.
