Ritchie has been manufacturing for over 155 years, growing from a traditional blacksmith’s forge into a trusted supplier of agricultural and industrial equipment. With strong roots in farming, the business has developed practical, durable solutions shaped by real on-farm use, supporting livestock handling, feeding and infrastructure across the UK and beyond. That focus on straightforward, hard-working and innovative equipment remains central to how Ritchie operates today.

That same practical approach carries through into wider community support. Ritchie backs initiatives such as Pickups for Peace, helping with the provision of vehicles and essential supplies where they’re needed most. This has included hands-on involvement, with Bob Ritchie personally taking part in delivery drives to Ukraine: reflecting a commitment not just to support, but to get directly involved where it makes a difference.
