About Harvest Installations

Want to learn about Harvest Installations? Harvest Installations, set up by Colin Hales in 1979, began with the invention of the Constant Humidity Controller, an award-winning modulating gas burner that ensures the correct humidity of air blown through crops for drying.

The business then developed further products, one of which was the Maxi-Stirrer, a gantry-running stirrer for aerating crops, reducing compaction, improving drying efficiency, and simplifying the process.

In 2004, with over 30 years in the industry, Mike, supported by his wife Jackie Wilson, purchased the business and grew it further through enhancements in high-temperature drying and store controls, and developed a reputation for managing drying store projects end-to-end.

During this time, they built a family-run business with their son, daughter, and son-in-law, who took over when Mike and Jackie retired in early 2020.

The family-owned business is now jointly run by Lewis and Lisa Harvey and Matthew Wilson, and thrives on the core principles instilled by Mike and Jackie: a business built on a reputation for reliable products, great service, and the knowledge to back it up.

Having been based in Faversham, Kent, the business was moved to Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, where it now resides. From here, we service the UK, Ireland, Europe, and even New Zealand.
