Title: Partner of J. Hadwin A. Gorton and S. Gorton T/A
Mansergh Hall Farm
Name: Amanda Gorton Date: April 23rd 2008
Who we are....
A family business!! The Hadwin family works as a team and
are committed and proud to providing our customers with the
finest free range produce. Jim, Amanda, Simon and
James are partners in Mansergh Hall Farm.
Jim and Wendy Hadwin
Jim is the boss!! What more can we say, other than it was
Jim's foresight back in the late 1980s to be trained by a
local butcher and provide whole and half lambs for the
freezer that started the ball rolling. Mocked by other
farmer's at the time, especially when the old dairy was
converted into the farm shop in 1995, there are many that
have followed his lead into this kind of diversification. We
are very proud of what he has achieved to date, and long may
it continue!! Jim lives in Mansergh Hall with his wife Wendy
who helps with the business.
James Hadwin and Catherine Mason
James is the eldest son and now
lives in nearby with his fiancé Catherine. James
is at the heart of the business (and has been since he could
walk) doing a bit of everything. James now works full tome
for SAC as an agricultural consultant. Catherine has a
full-time job elsewhere but can often be found helping James
on the farm and at our promotional events such as shows.
Simon and Amanda Gorton
Amanda is the eldest of the Hadwin children and now lives
near Kirkby Lonsdale with husband Simon (our butcher)
and 4 year old daughter Emma. Amanda has been involved with the
business since it started, helping her Dad since the age of
13 to pack the lamb for the freezer, but having run the shop
for a number of years with Jim, her role is now to run the
business from an administrative point of view.
Samantha and James Millar
Samantha is the youngest daughter and now lives with her
husband James and their 2 daughters near
Kirkby Lonsdale. Both have a key role at our
promotional events such as shows, as well as behind the
scenes.
Ben
Ben is about to embark on a three year course at Kingston
University.
