AWSM Farming Solutions

As a Yorkshire-based business, we’ve helped farmers across the UK to tackle the demands of modern farming for over 30 years, providing specialist farming services nationwide to make sure they get more from their land, time and resources. We bring expertise across agricultural contracting, haulage, farming storage, spreading, spraying, and recycling.

How it all started…

What started in 1996 with one young farmer and a simple idea has grown into the business AWSM is today.

At just 18, Adam Metcalfe spotted a gap in the local area for agricultural spraying services. Starting out from his family’s 40-acre farm, he began helping farmers across the local community – building trust, one job at a time. As demand grew, so did AWSM. Andrew Yarrow joined in 2002, later becoming a Director in 2011, and new services, people and opportunities have shaped the business ever since.

30 years on, that same commitment to doing a good job and supporting the farming community remains at the heart of what we do. Today, AWSM is a team of more than 40, operating from Richmond in North Yorkshire and Murrow in Cambridgeshire, with the capability to support customers right across the UK.

From one sprayer to a nationwide operation, it’s been quite a journey – and we’re still growing.
