Total livestock throughput values at its auction markets lifted in value by £32m on the year to £176.5m in 2025, driven predominantly by higher beef and sheep prices.

The group also prides itself on offering an average livestock commission rate of 3.39%.

ANM Group chief executive Grant Rogerson said: “These results reflect a positive year for the group, with growth in both turnover and profit, while continuing to return value directly to our members through competitive commission rates and dividend payments.”

He added: “I am incredibly proud of my team’s hard work and dedication in delivering such a strong performance.

“In a year where costs have remained high across the sector, that has not been straightforward, and the team deserve credit for how they have responded.”

Mike Macaulay, chairman of ANM Group, added that the financial results reflected a year of progress across the co-operative and provided a strong platform for future success.

ANM Group’s annual meeting will take place on Tuesday 28 April 2026 at Thainstone Auction Centre near Aberdeen.
