A NEW country store supplying quality animal feed has opened in a Worcestershire village.

Estate Country Feeds has set up shop in Martley and hopes to provide a shot in the arm for the local economy.

It offers a range of products and services to the farming and rural community.

Estate Country Feeds supplies high quality feeds for cattle, sheep, equestrian and poultry - as well as Ghillies game feed range.

The new business has been set up by Richard Soloducha whose family owns Millson Engineering, an engineering company who build, repair and maintain animal feed mills in the UK.

Mr Soloducha, with the support of Aaron Oliver and a team of locally employed staff, will be welcoming customers to the new store.

He will take responsibility of the feed production, bringing to the business extensive experience in milling engineering, whilst Mr Oliver will lead the sales operation.

The store team will offer specialist advice on feeding livestock, will offer bulk deals and continue to develop the product range to meet the needs of customers.

Managing director Mr Soloducha said: "Our team at Estate Country Feeds are very excited to have opened our first country store in Martley.

"As manufacturers of high quality feed, catering for the agricultural and equestrian sectors, our store will be a one stop shop for all animal feed requirements.

"All feed will be available in bulk, totes or bags for collection in-store or delivery.

"We pride ourselves on being a family run business with a genuine understanding of farming and agriculture at the core.”

"We look forward to developing our network of customers and building relationships with suppliers across Worcestershire and surrounding counties.

"Our foremost priority is to offer our customers an efficient, professional and friendly service.

"We hope to see many new faces in store as well as welcoming customers to our stands at both Tenbury Show on August 1 and Burwarton Show on August 6.”
