Cluster Exchange
Cluster exchange offers members a very simple way to upgrade their existing cluster and to change milking liners. The process ensures minimum hassle as only the milk pipe and pulsation tube require to be detached in order to change, and the old clusters are conveniently picked up and taken away. The time and money saved has impressed all those involved, and members who have signed up say they would not consider leaving the scheme.
Electricity
First Milk Direct and Inenco have secured a group contract until September 2008 with British Gas. The deal offers members discounted electricity with a reliable supplier and a dedicated support team. Inenco can also provide quotations for comparable contracts to establish what option is most suited to your individual electricity requirements.
