Good neighbour · Chilsworthy
Cast in Chilsworthy.
Built for the community.
We moved the yard to Chilsworthy in 2023. That's a real change for the village, and we take being a good neighbour seriously. This page sets out how we operate and how to reach us if there's a problem.
Our commitments
How the yard runs.
Six commitments we make to the village and the wider Chilsworthy / Holsworthy area. If any of these slips, we want to know.
Yard hours
Mon–Fri 07:30–17:00. Weekends closed. We keep lorry movements inside working hours and off the village at either end of the day.
Dust suppression
Yard sweeper twice a day, water bowser on hardstanding in dry weather, all aggregate stockpiles bunded and covered.
Noise commitment
No loud plant before 7am. Concrete batching and pour scheduled to working hours. Reversing alarms on lorries set to broadband (white-noise) where local noise is a concern.
Traffic
Deliveries to and from the yard are routed via the A388 and away from the village centre. If you see a lorry running to or from us off that route, please call us on 01409 281437 and we will deal with it.
Local employment
The 2023 move to Chilsworthy created new jobs. Most of the team live locally. We back local apprentices and run open days for North Devon schools.
Direct line
If something at the yard concerns you — noise, dust, traffic, lorry movements — please call us directly on 01409 281437. The phone is answered by the yard, not a call centre.
Local employment
Jobs, mostly local.
The Chilsworthy move created new jobs in 2023 — drivers, batchers, design engineers, yard hands and admin. Most of the team live locally.
We host open days for North Devon schools and back local apprentices through the casting and HGV-driving routes. If you know someone looking for an apprenticeship, we are always glad of a CV.
On the road
Trade shows & farming shows.
We turn up — every year, in person, with the kettle on. Across the summer Kim, Claire and the team work the county-show circuit from Devon to Yorkshire and the Royal Welsh, and across the winter you will usually find us at LAMMA, Dairy-Tech and the West Country Farming & Machinery Show. If you would like to talk slurry, cubicles, panels or a one-off bespoke piece face to face, the show stand is the right place. Bring drawings, bring photos, bring questions.
North Devon Show
Our home show. Kim and Claire are on the stand both days every August — drawings welcome.
Royal Welsh Show
Llanelwedd in July — four days of dairy, beef and an unbroken queue at the cubicle stand.
Great Yorkshire Show
A long way from North Devon — and worth the drive. The Yorkshire dairy crowd run the same kit we cast for.
West Country Farming & Machinery Show
The Westpoint show in Exeter — a regular fixture and the best place to talk slurry without the wind.
Confirmed 2026 dates and stand numbers go up on the news page ahead of each show. Drop us a line if you want to book a slot at the stand and we will hold a space.
Local sponsorships
North Devon farming community.
We back the North Devon Show every year and contribute to local young-farmer clubs, ploughing matches and dairy discussion groups. If you run a North Devon farming initiative and need a hand, please ask — we'd rather say yes when we can.
Schools & apprenticeships
Open days & training routes.
We back local apprentices through the casting and HGV-driving routes, and we would rather train someone from round here than advertise out of county. If you are a school or a college looking for a yard visit, ring us.
Severn Trent neighbour
The biogas plant next door.
Across the road sits the Holsworthy Biogas Plant, run by Severn Trent Green Power. They turn farm slurry into renewable electricity; we cast precast for anaerobic digestion sites. Two businesses doing complementary work for the same farms — a circular relationship that suits the area.
Talk to us
If something at the yard concerns you, call.
The yard phone is answered in working hours, and there is a mobile number for out of hours. It is not a call centre. If a lorry movement, noise event or dust issue worries you, the fastest way to fix it is to ring.
Direct line
01409 281437
Mon–Fri working hours, with an out-of-hours number on the answerphone.
