Ripon Farm Services has recorded a significant increase in turnover and profit in its accounts for the year ending January 31, 2023.

The report, published on the Companies House website this week, reveals revenue increased by 22% from £132.5 million to £161.1 million.

Gross profit rose by 23% from £15 million to £18.5 million and operating profit went up from £2.4 million to £3.1 million.

The Ripon-based company, which was established in 1982, services and sells agricultural machinery from brands including John Deere, Kuhn, Bailey, Kramer and Stihl across 15 regional branches.

It is one of the district's largest and most visible companies, with a major presence at the Great Yorkshire Show each year.

Ripon Farm Services, which employs 285 staff, also completed the construction of a 22,000 sq ft depot in Malton during the financial period, which was financed by an HSBC loan.

Directors attributed the company's success to outperforming the market and, subsequently, increasing market share, as well promoting “premium products with industry-leading customer service” and a “prestigious” brand portfolio.

The report added:

“The directors are pleased with the results in what has been a record year for the group.
"Turnover and profitability have both improved significantly and investments have been made in our infrastructure and capabilities to ensure we are well placed to meet the ongoing needs of our customers.
“We are known as the dependable and trusted, market leading agricultural and ground care machinery partner. Our customers rely on us to help them prosper, innovate and grow."


Ripon Farm Services also acquired FG Adamson & Son, a garden and ground-care machinery company, in March this year for around £2.4m.
