£0.100m paid on completion. Based in Tregaron, West Wales, T&M Williams Ltd is a
distributor of animal health products as well as a broad range of other
agricultural products.
In addition, Wynnstay has acquired the entire share capital of Westhope

to be up to £0.275m, contingent on ongoing profitability, with £0.165m paid on
completion. The business is a specialist distributor of agricultural goods

Both transactions will further strengthen the Group's market share in key
livestock regions.
Commenting on the transactions, Managing Director, Mr Bernard Harris said
'Both of these businesses are a complementary fit with the Group's existing
business and their acquisition represents further progress in our strategy to
act as a consolidator in the sector.
We continue to grow our market share within our core activities and the new
business will increase the volume of animal health and associated products sold
by approximately 15%, contributing an additional £1.9m to turnover in total.'
