Our story began in 1959 when Philip embarked on the journey that led us to become one of the top quality providers of sawdust, animal bedding and shavings in the UK. After dealing with inadequate supplies of animal, equine and cubicle bedding in the past, we at PH Winterton have taken the steps to ensure that we can provide all of the sawdust, shavings and bedding you could ever need. We are known for having the best horse shavings in Staffordshire, Cheshire, and Derbyshire!
