A new long-term agreement has been signed between ABP and the UK’s largest privately-owned fertiliser importer, Thomas Bell & Sons.

A further eight years have been added to the existing contract focusing on operations at Port of Immingham, taking the Brigg-headquartered importer beyond its 150th anniversary.

Simon Bird, ABP’s regional director for the Humber, said: “We are delighted to have secured this new deal with Thomas Bell, one of our successful long-standing fertiliser customers.
