About Tarff ‘Services’

Tarff recently took over the activities of the South West Machinery Ring (SWMR) which has now been rebranded Tarff ‘Services’. Existing members of the SWMR have been automatically enrolled in Tarff ‘Services’, which members of Tarff Valley Ltd are also entitled to make use of and benefit from.

What can Tarff ‘Services’ offer you? Tarff is now offering a number of short courses which are organised on farms in your local area. Since the launch of Tarff ‘Services’ in November, the courses which have been held include hoof trimming, telehandler operation, ATV training and first aid. These have all been very well received with excellent feedback. If you would like to find out more or book a short course, please contact Tracey McEwan, Services Coordinator, on 07785 657861 or tracey.mcewan@tarffvalley.co.uk.

As of Monday 3rd February, Tarff ‘Services’ became a recognised LANTRA approved training centre.

What does this mean? Tarff can now offer its customers industry leading training courses with the support of skilled instructors and assessors. LANTRA is one of the UK’s leading awarding bodies and Tarff is delighted to have LANTRA accreditation backing its service.
