Agriculture and turf
dealership Tallis Amos Group Limited (TAG) has acquired the trade and assets of
Bristol based professional turf dealer BS Mowers Limited, as part of John
Deere’s ‘Dealer of Tomorrow’ strategy.
BS Mowers is largely
known for its expertise in the fine turf machinery industry throughout Avon,
Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and North Somerset.
To provide
continuity of sales and service to customers in the area, all the BS Mowers
staff led by branch managing director Bob Culverhouse have been retained and
the dealership will continue to operate as a turf only outlet under the TAG
banner from January 2018.
The business’
existing trading area will remain largely unchanged as a result of the merger.
“I am delighted that
the Tallis Amos Group has agreed to acquire our company and bring its
combination of experience and expertise to this part of south-west England,”
says Bob Culverhouse. “It will allow us to grow the business and continue
delivering the best possible parts and service support to existing and new
customers, across a wider range of products from John Deere and other leading
brands.”
The Tallis Amos
Group is owned by the Tallis and Amos families, with managing director Ben
Tallis, who is based at TAG’s Evesham head office, and sales director Simon
Amos, based in Leominster, running the company as partners. With this latest
acquisition, the group now manages five outlets in Evesham, Leominster, Bibury,
Narberth and Bristol.
TAG was
identified as one of London Stock Exchange's 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain
in 2015. This annual report is a celebration of the UK’s fastest-growing and
most dynamic small and medium-sized businesses.
“As a strong family
run business, we firmly believe the Tallis Amos Group is the right long-term
partner for customers across its newly expanded sales area,” says John Deere
Limited division sales manager Joedy Ibbotson. “The dealership has a long
history with Deere, a great deal of experience and a reputation among its
customers for consistently delivering the highest levels of after-sales
support.”
