ANM Group has announced a 10-year plan involving major upgrades to secure the future of Thainstone Mart.
The ambitious plans, revealed exclusively in The Press and Journal this morning, come after the firm recorded consistently positive accounts in recent years, with trading profits shooting up over 83% since 2024.
Three years in the making, the proposals will completely reimagine the iconic building just outside Inverurie, ensuring the mart can "evolve" to meet "future needs".
Chief executive Grant Rogerson said the vision will remain “true to their core values while delivering tangible benefits for their members”.
ANM Group had explored starting afresh and building an entirely new auction centre, but opted instead to upgrade the site.
Mr Rogerson went on: “This vision is about building on what Thainstone already does well while investing in facilities that will ensure it remains fit for the future."
