Chapmans is a family run business established in 1953 with over 59 years experience in supplying the poultry, livestock and horse markets with a wide range of bedding products. Over this time we have developed a reputation for providing high quality and reliable service to our customers – however big or small they may be. 

Based on the Norfolk/Suffolk border in the heart of East Anglia, our core business is supplying the majority of the poultry industry situated in, Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire and up into the Humberside region.

We have a large fleet of lorries on the road to transport our products out directly to our customers from 7 operating centres, with a large workforce all of whom are dedicated in their commitment to provide a high quality of service to our customers.

Our products are delivered out to our customers using a variety of different vehicles, to suit all requirements. Typically we use articulated curtain-sided lorries, moffett trailers and also tipper trailers where we supply bulk material to the poultry market, we also have 26 tonne rigid lorries for smaller sized deliveries primarily within the poultry sector. Especially for the horse market we use a long wheel base flat-bed van, allowing us to deliver more manageable quantities.

Having these different vehicles available, allows us to deliver out quantities that vary anywhere from a minimum of 40 bales up to 768 bales to suit every customer’s individual requirements.

During harvest we bale our own wheat and barley straw from behind the combine which we purchase from local farmers in East Anglia, using 3 state of the art Hesston balers, we bale at a moisture content of 15% or lower, this is then all barn stored for use throughout the year.  We pride ourselves in being able to provide an efficient service to the farmers by clearing the Hesston’s off their land promptly using 4 super chasers.
