Operations to open in the Port of Ipswich

Thomas Bell & Sons Ltd are pleased to announce they have reached an agreement with Associated British Ports for fertiliser storage and blending facilities in Ipswich, opening January 2025.

This agreement with ABP will compliment our existing operations at Immingham, Newport, Grimsby and Sharpness whilst enhancing our portfolio in the fertiliser market.

This additional expansion into East Anglia, strengthens our global sourcing of fertilisers with suppliers, whilst increasing our operations and offering logistical efficiencies.

Another milestone for Thomas Bell – by adding this strategic location it is an opportunity to provide a wider range of quality fertilisers and services to UK farmers.

Andrew Major, Managing Director

“ We are pleased to announce expansion of our business into East Anglia. This continued investment will enable us to increase our volumes, whilst delivering higher service levels which is key to developing a stronger and competitive position in the marketplace and supporting UK agriculture. A positive step which we are all proud of as the UK’s largest privately owned importer of fertilisers’’
