YoungsRPS joins Hexham Mart in new partnership

Rural land agency YoungsRPS has announced it has partnered with a local livestock market by opening offices within Hexham Mart.

Hexham and Northern Marts has partnered with YoungsRPS, a rural based chartered surveyor and property consultancy, to offer an improved service to local farmers by offering advisory services in an active mart environment.

The partnership follows a long history of operation for both companies, with Hexham and Northern Marts offering mart services to local farmers for over 100 years, and YoungsRPS originally founded in 1879.

Rob Addison, Managing Director of Hexham Mart, explains: “YoungsRPS are deep rooted in agriculture, and have a tremendous reputation with farmers in this area, so we are delighted to welcome them to the mart.

“The specialisms being provided by YoungsRPS dovetail with the range of services that we will continue to offer - such as completion of rural payment forms and all environmental grant schemes, together with grazing agreements, farm and machinery sales.”

YoungsRPS’ new Hexham Mart office will be led by managing director Robbie Hutchinson and chartered surveyor Harry Morshead, offering close-to-hand services in addition to the firm’s main Hexham branch.

Robbie Hutchinson, managing director of YoungsRPS, explained: “We have been in discussions with Hexham Mart for some considerable time and are delighted that they have concluded that we are the best partner for them to offer a full professional service to their customers.

“Farming is an industry which must address significant changes during the next few years, so this is, without a doubt, a mutually beneficial arrangement.”
