Our professional and friendly team in Membership Services would love to talk to you.
Simply fill in the online contact form, or call 01507 602396, option 4 / email membership@woldmarsh.com to take the first step in becoming a member.
We'll then discuss what you're looking for and how we can help you.
Once we’ve visited you and you have submitted your application, the process typically takes around 3 to 4 weeks to complete.
At the enquiry stage we simply need to know a little bit about you and your farm, then our team will then be in touch. If you choose to go ahead, you'll need to send our external accountants 2 years of audited accounts (we don't see these).
If sent directly, the only people who see these are our external accountants.
No, this is not necessary however, if an existing member does refer you, we will donate £50 to your local Air Ambulance as a thank you.
Absolutely! We have several regional Ambassadors who’d be happy to share their experience with you. Alternatively, many other members are also keen to offer their support and advice.
No, there’s no upfront commitment to purchase when you work with Woldmarsh, and we don’t aim to disrupt any existing supplier relationships. Many new members are pleasantly surprised to find we already collaborate with their trusted suppliers. Often, it’s simply a matter of placing orders through your Woldmarsh account.
The more you spend through your account, the lower your levy rate becomes. So, your membership cost is based on your turnover with the group, rewarding higher use with better levy rates.
Yes, many of our suppliers can offer payment terms, but these must be arranged and agreed at the point of order. If you want to manage your input payments, just let us know - our friendly team will support you in discussing options with the supplier.
We also accept payments via Oxbury, providing a convenient and flexible way to manage your payments.
Yes, rebates are available on certain purchases usually based on volume sales but they’re not guaranteed on every purchase. If you’re eligible for a rebate, it will be clearly shown on your monthly Woldmarsh statement.
We proudly serve members across the UK, with a strong presence in the east of England. Our head office is based in Louth, Lincolnshire, from where we provide dedicated support to all our members.
There is a one-off joining fee of £250+VAT. After that, members pay a quarterly charge for the extensive range of services we provide, all detailed in our membership pack. On average, this cost works out to less than 1% of a member’s annual spend.
No, members do not have direct responsibility for each other’s bad debts. Instead, all members contribute to the Woldmarsh Contingency Fund - charged at £10/month for the first five years of membership, reducing to £4/month thereafter. This fund is used to cover any supplier payments if a member cannot pay.
There are several easy ways to purchase products and services through Woldmarsh:
Speak directly to a Woldmarsh supplier and ask them to invoice your order to your Woldmarsh account.
Contact our office to request quotes for products or services. Once you confirm your choice, we’ll place the order with the supplier on your behalf.
Ask your agronomist to work directly with our Crop Inputs team to order chemicals, seed, and fertiliser for you.
Our specialist teams carefully review product quality, availability, and pricing to ensure you get the best deal every time.
