Who are Morris Corfield?
MORRIS CORFIELD is a thriving family business that specialises in supplying high-quality agricultural machinery across four depots. Spanning from Cheshire to Herefordshire and across mid and north Wales, their mission is to provide excellent customer service to those in the agricultural industry.
The company was established in 1959 by John Corfield, Clive Brereton & LP Morris, initially selling general agricultural & used machinery from their Much Wenlock depot. Today they employ over 65 staff across four depots (Broseley, Chester, Hereford and Craven Arms) and recently took on the mid Wales area formerly looked after by Rees Agri.

What brands do they sell?
Morris Corfield became CLAAS dealers in 1964, and in 1966 took on Zetor, selling 275 Zetor tractors the following year. In 1962 they sold their first CLAAS Self Propelled Combine, which is still working to this day. That combine originally cost £2,000, which in today’s money would cost £600,000!
In 2024 CLAAS celebrated their 500,000th Combine harvester manufactured, and Morris Corfield had one of only three UK special edition combines as their demonstration machine – a CLAAS LEXION 7700 (pictured below).
Today they hold over £5 million worth of parts in stock, have a fleet of 30 technician vans on the road and are proud of their 50% market share of combines and 60% of foragers for their area.
Renowned for their use of cutting-edge technology, CLAAS manufacture a full range of agricultural machinery and equipment, including tractors, telehandlers, balers and combine harvesters. Their team are trained to help you make the right machinery investments, taking time to understand each customer’s individual requirements, and providing sales and service support at every step.

Beth maent yn gwerthu?
Dechreuodd Morris Corfield gwerthu CLAAS yn 1964, ac yn 1966 dechrau gwerthu Zetor gan werthu 275 tractor Zetor y flwyddyn ganlynol. Yn 1962 gwerthwyd ei chombein hunan gyrriad gyntaf, sydd i’w gweld yn gweithio heddiw. Y gost oedd £2,000 sydd yn cyfateb gyda beth fyddai’n £600,000 heddiw.
Yn 2024 dathlodd CLAAS y 500,000 combein i gael ei greu, ac roedd gan Morris Corfield un o’r tri rhifyn arbennig ar fenthyg – CLAAS LEXION 7700 (gwelwyd yn y llun isod).

Raising money for charity.
In 2023 the team were part of a charity combine challenge which raised over £93,000 for charities. The Challenge saw a team of four drive a CLAAS LEXION 8700 875 miles from John O Groats to Land’s End, in aid of Mind mental health charity and Children with Cancer UK. The team comprised of Morris Corfields’ James Baldini, Olly Harrison, John Branson and Martin Williams, who have all suffered the loss of close friends through suicide and wanted to raise awareness and funds for both important charities.
Codi arian ar gyfer elusennau.
Yn 2023 bu rhai o aelodau’r cwmni yn rhan o her elusennol combein gan godi dros £93,000 ar gyfer elusennau. Yn ystod yr her gwelwyd tîm o bedwar yn gyrru CLAAS LEXION 8700 875 milltir o John O Groats i Land’s End ar gyfer elusennau ‘Mind’ a ‘Children with Cancer UK’. Aelodau’r tîm oedd James Baldini o Morris Corfield, Olly Harrison, John Branson a Martin Williams, rhain wedi colli ffrindiau trwy hunanladdiad ac eisiau codi ymwybyddiaeth ac arian i’r ddwy elusen bwysig.
