John Deere dealer New Forest Farm Machinery Ltd has opened a new turf equipment
outlet at Cadbury Business Park in Sparkford, near Yeovil in Somerset.
The
premises serve the dealer’s extended trading area that was initially
established in 2014 after New Forest took over the professional turf business
of Rochford Garden Machinery.
The
dealership offers John Deere’s full range of professional golf and amenity turf
equipment including mowers, aerators, sprayers, tractors and Gator utility
vehicles, as well as homeowner and construction equipment.
Based at
Ringwood in Hampshire, New Forest Farm Machinery has been a John Deere
agricultural dealer since 1979 and has held the turf franchise since John
Deere’s commercial and consumer equipment business, as it was then known,
started in 1986.
New
Forest currently employs 43 people altogether and sells to turf customers in
the counties of Hampshire, Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire.
“As a
long established, independent family-owned business we are always striving to
improve our company offering, through focusing on customer support and
investing for the future,” says managing director Ed Smales.
“The new
premises at Sparkford are ideally located to cover our extended trading area
and increase our presence in the marketplace.
“We
intend to maintain our traditional high standard of product sales, parts and
service support in the various turf equipment markets that we serve, and we
look forward to welcoming both existing and new customers to the dealership.”
