A FARM supplies business closed its doors while owners Chris Jeffery and Kate Williamson tied the knot earlier this month.
The co-founders of Green’s Farm Supplies met while working for a company that supplied animal health products to farmers in the mid-1990s. The two friends snapped up the opportunity to buy a business in Northallerton seven years ago.
Now with sites in Northallerton and Thirsk and employing nine people, the business has evolved, as did the relationship, and the couple, who live in Husthwaite, got engaged on a holiday to the Maldives in January.
Chris said they gave all staff the day off to attend the wedding at Aldwark Manor. He said: “We live together, work together and do everything together and it’s been spot on. Which is one of the reasons I asked her to marry me.”
