About LM Bateman & Co Ltd

When Melvyn Bateman formed LM Bateman & Co Ltd in 1979, his main objective was to provide the agricultural market with a well-made product at attractive prices, coupled with exceptional service – still our objective in this, our 30th year of trading.

Product is manufactured and fabricated in a purpose-built factory located in Cheddleton, North Staffordshire on a 4½-acre site. Batemans also stock product on an 8½-acre site located at Cullompton, Devon, where we also employ our own dedicated staff. All our product is distributed to customers, using our own vehicles and drivers, from either our Staffordshire manufacturing unit or our Devon depot for all our customers in the south-west.

We now manufacture a complete range of animal-handling and feeding equipment using prime quality tubular and RHS steel, galvanised to ISO1461. We supply these products all over the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe. Amongst these are our unique Tamar cattle crush and Thorne Sheepvet.

We aim to achieve the highest level of customer satisfaction; all of our area sales managers are contactable by either mobile or home telephone. Over and above this, should you have any problems, you can make contact with any of the company's six directors by either email or telephone; an immediate response is assured.

Over the years, we have been proud to be associated with major projects, including cattle markets at Bakewell, Brecon, Carmarthen, Shrewsbury and, most recently, Bridgwater. Our service has included the design, manufacture and installation of all the animal-handling equipment within the cattle market.
