A COUPLE who have transformed and expanded a farm and animal supplies firm are celebrating running it for a decade.

Chris and Kate Jeffery, who bought Ray Green’s animal health store next to Northallerton Auction Mart in April 2004, said the business, which has been known as Green Farm Health since 2006 now has two large stores in Thirsk and Northallerton and two smaller units at Malton and Ruswarp markets.

Mr Jeffery said: “There are 15 people working either full or parttime for Green’s and it is a testament to them that we have come so far, because we are only as good as the people who work for us and we have a great team.

“The majority of them are young local people who we want to train and develop for the future. We are well aware that people like to buy from people, not a building or a company name.”

The couple will hold a party to celebrate the tenth anniversary on Sunday, June 8.
