Nestlé is the world’s largest food and drink company with more than 2,000 brands ranging from global icons to local favourites. The company is present in 188 countries worldwide.

Co-op is one of the world’s largest consumer co-operatives, owned by more than 7.5 million members, and we exist to meet members’ needs and stand up for the things they believe in.

Since 1844, we have been sourcing goods from across the UK and continue to be a proud supporter of British farmers, trading with almost 2,000 UK farms and over 500 suppliers from across the UK.

Sourcing British matters to us - not just because it contributes to the UK economy and employment but because our member owners and customers expect it. It offers reassurance and helps them trust food security and sustainability – and, of course, a viable agricultural sector is essential to feed the UK’s growing population.

That’s why we remain committed to sourcing only British meat across our own-brand fresh and frozen ranges and including as an ingredient in our wide range of ready meals, sandwiches and pies – as well as sourcing only British milk.

We are proud to be sponsoring Rising Star of the year at the National Women In Agriculture Awards.

HSBC UK Agriculture is proud to say we were the first ever banking team to be specifically focused on Agriculture. Our national network of specialist agriculture managers are dedicated to you and your industry. We are focused on helping your business to take advantage of opportunities, however challenging the environment.

So whatever your agriculture enterprise we look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your business ambitions with our range of credit and lending facilities.
