A F Wiltshire - New McCormick dealers covering Surrey and Hampshire
Mon 8/04/2013
A Surrey-based farm machinery sales and service business is set for growth by becoming a McCormick tractor dealer.”Covering a much larger territory and catering for arable as well as livestock farms with the McCormick range gives us a real opportunity to grow,” says Laura Brown of Wiltshires.
Ray Spinks, AgriArgo UK sales director, explains that the move will improve McCormick sales and service support in the area: “The territory of one of our successful southern dealers, Dovey Ltd, based at Beaulieu, has been extended eastwards beyond Winchester. AF Wiltshire has been appointed to cover an area south of the M4 and M25 to the coast between Portsmouth and Brighton.”
This area is bordered to the east by Curtis & Shaw at Cowbeech near Horsham and to the north-west by PJS Agricultural Services, East Garston near Newbury.
“Between them, Dovey and Wiltshires will support an existing population of McCormick tractors in Hampshire and Surrey with good parts and service back-up,” Mr Spinks adds. “I believe they will also give farmers who don’t currently operate McCormick the confidence to see what the range has to offer.”
One thing that will not be changing, emphasises Laura’s father, Albert Wiltshire, who started the business in 1970, is the daily delivery service that supplies just about everything needed by farmers, contractors, golf courses and other rural enterprises within a 25-mile radius of Dunsfold.
“Service is our priority,” he says. “The van runs on a regular route that already takes us into our new McCormick territory, delivering anything from parts and tools to service consumables and clothing.”
