The dealership moved into their new depot at the 30-acre Eden Business Park near Malton at the end of August. The 22,000 sq ft building is located immediately off the A64 by the Pickering Road (A169) junction by Eden Camp.

Richard Simpson, commercial director of RFS, commented, “The opening of our new Malton depot is a major milestone for Ripon Farm Services and signals our intention to ramp up the investment in our long-term future.

“This new building reflects the importance we place on serving the North and East Yorkshire farming, equestrian and ground care communities."

The new flagship building features offices, training suites and meeting facilities for staff and customers and has been specially designed to accommodate rapidly growing combine harvester business. The new Malton location is the company’s twelfth depot in all.

Richard Simpson added: “We are especially pleased to have made such a big investment to improve our facilities in Malton, which has the enviable - and entirely justified - reputation as the food capital of the north. It is at the centre of North Yorkshire’s extensive agricultural community, which we are looking forward to serving,” said Mr Simpson.
