Henry Bell & Co has marked its 200th anniversary with a dinner for guests from across the animal and bird feeds industry.
Stockists and suppliers from around the country joined managing director Thomas Lee and finance director Carol Foster for the gathering at the Belton Woods Hotel in Grantham, Lincolnshire.
Lee said: “What a remarkable moment this anniversary is. Henry Bell started out as a flour miller in 1825 and today we supply wild bird and small animal feeds, processed cereals, pulses and horse feeds across the UK, Europe and beyond.
“We wouldn’t be where are today if it wasn’t for the trust and support of our customers and suppliers – and our fantastic team of employees who make it all possible. Our 200th anniversary is an important way to acknowledge what we have and what we have become, and to recognise that we are a fourth-generation family business built on shared purpose.”
