Last week, Cotterill Civils exhibited at the Farm Business Innovation Show at the NEC — and it was a huge success! Over the two days, we met fantastic people and gained valuable insights into how businesses are planning to diversify and how we can help them achieve their goals.
Strong Interest in Sewage Treatment and Construction Solutions
There was significant interest in many of our products and services — particularly our sewage treatment solutions. These were seen as essential for diversification projects such as barn conversions, glamping, and eco-friendly accommodation sites.
Visitors appreciated that we don’t just supply the products — we also provide full installation services through our experienced team. Our dedicated installation team can deliver complete turnkey packages, ensuring customers receive a smooth, end-to-end experience. There was also strong interest in our rural construction services from businesses looking to convert or extend existing premises.
Survey Insights – 51% Looking to Diversify
We conducted a survey at our stand and found that 51% of participants were actively looking to diversify their business. Respondents included farmers, landowners, and holiday park operators — with many farms showing particular interest in branching into tourism through glamping, camping, or caravan sites.
Expert Support for Farmers and Landowners
Andy Cotterill, Managing Director of Cotterill Civils, commented:
“This was a fantastic event for us and we were really pleased with the interest shown in our products. The last few years have been difficult for farmers, and diversification into other areas has become increasingly popular. We were delighted to provide expert advice at the event on our sewage treatment solutions, rural construction, and land drainage.”
