Sponsors and Supporters
A great many people support the GBG by providing products and services and we are extremely grateful for everything, no matter how big or small.
Featured sponsor: C&O Tractors and New Holland
The Great Bustard Group would like to offer sincere thanks to local company C&O tractors and New Holland Agriculture for their generous donation of a sparkling new tractor. The man behind the incredible deal is Paul Shutler, Agricultural Sales Manager of C&O Tractors of Wilton, Wiltshire. Paul arranged for the Boomer 2030 to be leased to the Great Bustard Group free of charge and the tractor will be replaced annually.
The GBG’s farm liaison Allan Goddard was delighted as he will be able to continue with developing a program of more effective management of the Project Site to provide ideal habitat for the Great Bustards year round. A huge thank you to Paul and his team for their generosity.
