Graham Jameson is Managing Director at WE Jamesons in Masham.
Jamesons was established in 1930 by Eddie Jameson, selling seeds to local farmers, the business soon developed, selling farming essentials, and in 1970 the company built its feed mill at Foxholme Lane in Masham, which now also houses its handy Country Store.
