This week has seen our Stores, Laboratory and Haulage teams collaborating to load a significant sized cargo of Camgrain Member’s top specification Malting Barley onto the MV Victress out of Ipswich bound for one of our supply-chain partners for high quality Whisky production.
Despite the loading coinciding with the first rain in East Anglia for several weeks the loading was completed well ahead of schedule.
With the bulk haulage sector having experienced a challenging season due to the Covid-19 pandemic it has been great for the team to have this kind of normality to work on. Utilising shipping for the bulk of the journey saves food miles and is more efficient.
Whilst all this has been happening, our haulage team have also brought in some further improvements to their operation with a number of processes being made electronic to avoid the need for paperwork to be exchanged, as part of Camgrain’s Covid-secure measures.
What's in the boxes? We are delighted to announce the delivery of not one but two new ‘state of the art’ colour sorters from Cimbria. These colour sorters will be central to our new cleaning plant meaning Camgrain members never have to worry about ergot, problems with admixture or costly rejections.
