Ransomes
Jacobsen has announced several changes to sales territories in the north of
England and Wales to streamline and strengthen its UK dealer network.
Ransomes
Jacobsen, which distributes Ransomes and Jacobsen turf-care equipment, E-Z-GO
golf cars, and Cushman utility vehicles in the U.K., operates as part of
Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc.
Following
a review of regional coverage, three existing dealers: F.R. Sharrock Ltd.,
Rickerby Ltd., and Burdens Group Ltd. will take on additional territories as
part of their current dealer agreements.
All
three dealers are experienced with the full range of Ransomes Jacobsen products
and are geographically well-placed to offer an excellent customer experience
for sales and after-sales support, spare parts and service.
F.R.
Sharrock Ltd, which has depots near Manchester and Stoke, has extended its
current areas in the North West & Midlands to now include the areas of
Lancashire, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and Derbyshire with additional
responsibility for Harrogate and Doncaster.
Rickerby
Ltd., which has depots at Carlisle and Hexham, has been awarded an extension to
its territory to cover an area from Dumfries and Galloway down to the Lancaster
district of Lancashire and North Yorkshire.
The
Burdens Group Ltd. which has depots at North Kyme and Sutterton, will cover the
East of England from Yorkshire in the north down to the A14 through
Northamptonshire.
Commenting
on the changes to the dealer network, international sales manager at Textron
Specialized Vehicles Inc., John Quinton, said: “I would like to thank our
partners for their continued hard work and dedication to the Ransomes Jacobsen
product range. Our dealers are very knowledgeable about the machinery, and have
an excellent track record of first-class customer service and support. We are
delighted with the way the dealer network is set-up, and look forward to
supporting our dealers and customers moving forward.”
In
addition to these changes, John Osman Groundcare will now focus on the Textron
Golf family of products for North Wales, including Jacobsen turf-care
equipment, E-Z-GO golf cars and Cushman utility vehicles. The Ransomes
franchise for this area has been awarded to F.R. Sharrock Ltd.
GGM
Groundcare and Platt Harris Groundcare have had their Ransomes Jacobsen dealer
agreements terminated and will no longer represent products from the TSV
portfolio.
