ABOUT THE COMPANY

StowAg is a family-owned business that has been supporting farmers, agricultural contractors, equestrians, and rural communities across the Cotswolds and beyond since 1969. With stores in Longborough (HQ), Thame, and Alton-and a 12-acre timber yard-we offer over 20,000 products, from nuts and bolts to fencing and large animal handling systems.

Joining us means working alongside a friendly and experienced team. Our staff includes local reps who visit farms, qualified Animal Medicines Advisors, and a dedicated logistics department that handles our in-house delivery service. Some colleagues have been with us for over 20 years, reflecting the supportive environment and the value we place on our people.

While we have strong traditional roots, we're committed to progress. We invest in new ideas, support training and development across all departments, and continue to grow - recently launching our own brand of agricultural fencing, with more exciting projects to come.
