AQM was founded back in 1961 by a group of East Anglian livestock producers who discovered the benefits of co-operation and working together. Over the past 40 years the business has grown into one of the UK’s leading multi-species co-operatives offering business, management and practical advice and support to the livestock industry. Based at Royston in Hertfordshire AQM's team offers a wide variety of services for all pig, cattle & sheep producers throughout the UK.

Whilst the business retains its original values and working practices new technology is now being applied to all aspects of the business allowing all producers associated with AQM the opportunity to benefit from many years of co-operation.

Many years of experience and the latest technology available to the industry secure AQM as a market leader. Offering choice is fundamental to the business as it is operated for the benefit of farmers whilst allowing customers from all sectors confidence in the product they purchase. Direct links between primary producer and customer are seen as essential elements of an already successful business.
