About Us
Yeoward & Co. (“yo’wood”) is a generational supplier of Australian wool.
The business was established in 1968 by Ian (dec. ’13) to initially supply Australian based processors after the closure of the Australian buying offices of his family’s reputable topmaking mill based in Bradford UK, a mill that can be traced back to the beginning of both the UK and Australian early stage wool processing industries. With industry drift to lower cost Europe and Asia the mill evolved into a specialist Top processor until sold in 2006 to a EU comber.
Over the last 30 odd years, Ian’s sons, initially Bruce, with his father taught hands-on wool appraisal skills, and subsequently Mark, with his professional business skills, we operate uniquely with low overheads and competitive firm prices and indent fees. Our motto is “we buy or sell right, deliver right”.
With our multi-skills and seasoned experiences we have the solid foundation required to proactively adapt to the industry’s future challenges.
We have supplied, as Principals or Agents, Australian Merino Greasy, Scoureds, Tops, Open Tops, Carbonised and Greasy XBD types to customers in UK, Europe, Far East, North America, India and Middle East.
We operate as an independent hands-on supplier Australia-wide and as a Trading member of the Australian Wool Exchange Ltd. (AWEX).
