Branston Ltd was formed in 1968 by a group of Lincolnshire potato farmers. Their company developed over the years to become the leading supplier of potatoes in the UK. Scottish and Lincolnshire potato growers have links going back 100 years.
The famous potato breeder, Archibald Findlay, who bred the variety ‘Eldorado’ that sold for £30 for a 4oz tuber in Cupar in 1904, moved down to Lincolnshire from Auchtermuchty in Fife, joining other Scottish breeders and growers who had moved to Lincolnshire.
Branston established a Scottish site at Perth in 2004. Through investment in people and technology, the annual throughput has doubled in the last three years. And to meet this demand the Scottish Producer Group has grown to 43 members, supplying over 77,000 tonnes of quality Scottish potatoes each year. |
