WHO WE ARE

We proudly offer a guarantee for all of our services giving you the peace of mind your seed will be well look after.

Cherry Hill Coolstores has been in operation since 1990. The business, originally a small coolstore set on 170 acres of farmland located in Latrobe, was purchased in 1990 by father and son, Kevin (since retired) and Andrew Langmaid. Latrobe is situated on the north west coast of Tasmania, approximately ten minutes away from the port, and city of Devonport.

The business has been steadily increasing innovative activities and turn over. The operation has been redesigned and rebuilt and now comprises of 16 coolstores and three large dry store areas. Cherry Hill Coolstores now has the capacity to handle 15,000 tonnes of seed potatoes per annum.

Cherry Hill Coolstores has nine full time employees who fulfill administrative and supervisory roles, with up to 20 seasonal employees involved at various times of the year.

HAPPY CLIENTS

They’re fantastic. I mostly work with Conor and Andrew L. at Cherry Hill Coolstores (plus the carrot boys), and they’re all fantastic! I’ve found them always willing to help, and take on challenging opportunities – Cherry Hill provides cool storage and washing of carrots, which has enabled continuity of supply to our processing factory, and is a testament of their innovation.

Angus Galloway, Agriculture Manager for Vegetables – Simplot, Devonport Tasmania /

Always reliable. I’ve been working with Cherry Hill Coolstores for 15-years, and have found their processes run smoothly. They have a good facility, do a good job, and are very approachable. I generally deal directly with Wayne Maxwell – Wayne always knows where our seed is and I can examine it at any time. Whenever I’ve had criticism for the cutting of our seed, it’s taken on board and resolved quickly. If we ever run late, Wayne always stays back or works weekends to accommodate our needs. I’ve found Wayne and Cherry Hill to always be reliable.

Anthony Johns – Pro Agri /

We have a great working relationship with Cherry Hill. The project we run out of their facility is essential to the success of our harvest season around Australia. The scope of our project is ever changing and with the flexibility of Cherry Hill it has made everything run a lot smoother. The assistance that Kel and the team provide us has always been fantastic.

Dale Irvine – Quality Supervisor, Plants Driscolls /

Benefits of improved services. Over the years Cherry Hill continue to have better unloading facilities  and better coolstores. With the new faster unloader, our turnaround time to unload 50-tonnes of seed is about 2-3 hours less per day. That saves  me time and money, and I’m not keeping people waiting in paddocks for  empty trucks to return.
