Ifor Williams helps Countryfile presenter Matt Baker save family farm |

Ifor Williams have come to the rescue of TV presenter Matt Baker, as part of a new series documenting his ambitious journey to save his family's sheep farm.
Matt Baker: Our Farm in the Dales, soon to be aired on More4, follows the Countryfile and former The One Show presenter as he returns to his parents' organic sheep farm in the Durham hills to make vital changes that will help secure it for future generations.
The popular presenter, who uses a trusty Ifor Williams Trailers livestock trailer throughout filming, was spurred into action after his mother, Janice, 65, was injured when some of their pedigree flock of Hampshire Down sheep crashed into her, just as she was preparing for shearing.
Over four episodes, viewers will follow Matt, his wife Nicola and their two children, Luke, 13, and Molly, 11, as they head north to restock the remote farm that dates back to the 17th century with more suitable breeds to reduce the future upkeep burden on his parents.

Matt travels across the UK towing a 10'x7' TA5 Ifor Williams livestock trailer, collecting 10-12 sheep at a time.

"I love towing it – it's so smooth it's incredible. From the Durham Dales to Snowdonia is a long way. To go there and come back was brilliant. I wasn't afraid to reverse it on camera! It reverses well. I relished it. I love trailers anyway and I've been very impressed with it."
Rob Small, head of sales at Ifor Williams Trailers, said the TA5 was the perfect choice for Matt's mission.
"We are delighted Matt turned to Ifor Williams Trailers to support his exciting plans for the family farm," he said.
"Ifor Williams' livestock trailers are the mainstay of farms up and down the country, often outlasting the vehicles that tow them and becoming ⬇️

The specific model seen in these images is a BV85 Single Axle trailer complete with 5’ headroom & combination Ramp & Van Doors and 3x shoring poles.

The Ifor Williams Box Van (BV) Trailers are available in a choice of three height options, three width options and five length options. Our larger Box Van Trailers are ideal for those moving house and transporting equipment and goods in a variety of sectors. From sports equipment to taxi and bus airport shuttle services, to gardening centre products and leisure equipment. Our Box Van Trailers can also be used for transporting produce from trades people to customers and markets. Smaller Box Trailer models are available with a choice of single or twin axles.

Box Trailer models are offered with roller shutter, combination ramp doors or van rear doors, ensuring your Box Van Trailer is perfect for your needs. The cargo tracks and resin coated plywood platform ensure the Trailers are easy to load and unload which is essential for any trailer in regular use. The white coated side panels are tough, smart and easy to clean and therefore ideal for any type of road. They provide the classic ‘blank canvas’ ready to be wrapped with graphics and logos giving you that added business edge and brand exposure.

The Box Van trailers feature a tapered/curved front section to maximise space and reduce drag. The increase in fuel economy makes a real difference when you are covering long distances. All our Braked Box Van Trailers feature an exclusive beam axle and leaf spring suspension system which has been developed for a safe and stable ride. Similar systems are widely used on commercial vehicles, where performance under load is essential. Renowned for its durability and ease of maintenance, the Ifor Williams beam axle system contributes significantly to the low depreciation of our Trailers.
