Bridgmans Porte

In 1963, the Bridgman family moved to Newton-St-Petrock in Devon and ran a small dairy unit there with some beef, sheep and cereals on 154 acres. For years, Bridgmans were known for supplying drainage materials but stocks of other agricultural materials gradually grew to provide most requisites for the local farming community. Bridgmans' range of stock and customer base continued to grow over the years and, while the business continued to sell a huge amount of drainage materials (now mainly plastic), it diversified into many other areas especially harvesting materials such as silage sheets, feed, feed equipment, animal bedding and fencing materials.
