An IT company has partnered with a Meon Valley farm shop as it kickstarts its expansion across Hampshire.

Tektraders Ltd, based in Portsmouth, has supported Westlands Farm Shop in Wickham to deliver the latest tech to help oversee its new second store in Winchester.

As part of the partnership, Tektraders has supplied four state-of-the-art PCs and three monitors to speed up the farm shop’s back-office operations as the business grows.

Tektraders Ltd managing director Rob Hepworth said he was thrilled to see Westlands growing, having worked with the family-owned business since its earliest days.

"It’s a pleasure to see how far the farm shop has come and to witness the opportunities to integrate IT into its day-to-day operations.

"We supply to a variety of organisations that are often keen to improve what they do.

"I love helping businesses sharpen up their tech portfolios as they start hitting their business growth goals."

Kayleigh Collet of Westlands Farm Shop said: "It’s been an extremely busy year for us so far.

"We have recently opened our second store in Winchester, and we’re gearing up for our strawberry season.

"Our recent IT upgrade will help us keep our shelves fully stocked, manage finances and admin and help us oversee two stores at the same time."
