W.A.F.S. acts on behalf of farmers and growers to secure preferential terms and discounts, giving Members a trading account with some 200 suppliers. We act as an administration office receiving invoices on behalf of our Members from all the suppliers that they have used in the current month. Our Members can pay all their suppliers by one on-line payment or cheque per month to the Group Office, thus saving time and money.<\/p>\n

How do Members obtain goods?<\/b><\/p>\n
[\/cl_text][cl_text margin_paragraphs=”0″ custom_typography=”1″ text_font_size=”26″ text_font_weight=”300″ text_line_height=”40″]<\/p>\n
All of our suppliers have an up to date list of members. Members approach suppliers direct to obtain goods or request services. There are some exceptions to this such as fuel orders which are placed through the Group Office, prices change daily and we will source the cheapest for you. Commodities such as fertiliser and concrete are also dealt with in the Group Office in order that we can save our members time and money by obtaining quotes from our range of suppliers. Members must give their name to suppliers in order that invoices, when sent to the Group Office can be allocated to the correct Member.<\/p>\n
