Barenbrug UK has acquired seed specialists, the Watson group of companies

A seed specialist in the Scottish market for more than 30 years, the family-owned Watson Group, comprising Watson Seed, Seed Logistics and GroGreen, is well-known in the industry with a reputation for integrity, quality, trust and customer service – values that align strongly with those of Barenbrug UK.

The acquisition allows us to continue our growth and build the strength and appeal of our offering not just in Scotland, but throughout the United Kingdom – maintaining Barenbrug’s highly regarded position as a global grass breeder and producer, and strengthening our position in agriculture and the wider industry as a leading seed house.

With that reputation for breeding excellence, and our consistent efforts to deliver a wide range of grass solutions for farmers and turf managers, we are committed to applying our growth and knowledge in the continued support of key partners and customers. 

The acquisition does not affect our trusted and long-standing partnerships. We will continue to work with our key industry partners to deliver high-performance solutions for farmers and turf managers across the UK.
