We moved to new purpose built premises in July 1998 on George Edwards Road, Fakenham Industrial Estate. Chemspec East Anglia was incorporated in August 2000, Chemspec East Anglia is now the trading name of Chemspec East Anglia Ltd. Founding partners Peter and Andrew became the joint shareholders and directors of the limited company, ensuring the continuing independence of the company.

At the start of 2003, Well known agronomists, Roger Bassham, Peter Single and David Wright joined Chemspec from Agrovista (formally Cropcare). They were appointed Directors of Chemspec East Anglia Ltd in August 2003.

In May 2005 James Francis, joined us from Sands Agricultural Services Ltd (now Frontier). James Attended Shuttleworth agricultural college where he completed an HND in Agriculture, before continuing at Harper Adams university where he gained a BSC Honours in crop management. As well as being a fully qualified Agronomist, James has been busy completing Entry Level Stewardship applications, Higher level Scheme applications and Single Farm Payment forms on behalf of our customers.

In 2009 Peter and Stephanie Kane retired from the company, after 20 years of dedicated hard work building a relatively small company to the thriving respected business it is today.

In February 2011 David Youngs joined Chemspec from Hutchinsons. David has always been involved in agriculture as his family farm at Lingwood. After leaving college David started work as a trainee farm manager in Norfolk, before deciding to pursue a career in agronomy with Crop Care chemicals and lately with Hutchinsons. Given the area David works in he has a large involvement in potatoes and is a valuable asset to the team.

In March 2011 Peter Pointen joined from Frontier, again Peter comes from a farming background. He studied Agriculture at Eastern college and then carried on at Harper Adams where he graduated in 2004. Peter brings a young modern approach to farm management/ agronomy. Which is certainly required in our evolving industry.

It is the belief of the company that the Agricultural Industry is undergoing major change and it is the ability of its customers to adapt and embrace the large amount of physical and political problems facing them at present, which will determine their profitability for the future.

Chemspec as a company has evolved to assist their customers in the lengthy audit trail, which accompanies crop production. From NVZ’z to ELS management plans, we believe an agronomist plays a key role in the daily management and implementation of new legislation.
