The Norfolk and Waveney Machinery Rings is a member owned co-operative business created by farmers for farmers with a turnover in excess of £1m. The function of the ring is to spread members fixed costs either by hiring in services or equipment as required from other members or offering their own services or equipment to other members. The Ring has over 400 members that offer a range of services from extra help at harvest time or during staff holidays, machinery, fencing, field mapping to name but a few; covering Norfolk, Suffolk and The Fens. Our focus is on continually growing the service level to members.

The Ring is run under the Industrial and Provident Society and acts as an agent and not as principal in all dealings with members and suppliers.
