Hughes Agri Oswestry will now offer the Kubota (UK) Ltd range of agricultural and groundcare equipment, strengthening the manufacturer’s reach throughout Shropshire and the north/mid-Wales borders.
“We are pleased to welcome Hughes Agri into the Kubota dealer network as we continue to develop our business based on past successes,” said Henry Bredin, division manager of Kubota (UK)’s agricultural and ground care machinery business.
“The appointment of Hughes Agri as a full-line Kubota tractor dealer will provide ongoing support to existing customers operating in these areas, in addition to delivering sales, service and aftercare for Kubota’s agricultural and ground care product portfolio.”
Hughes Agri Oswestry was established in April 2025 as a spares and repairs business, following the closure of Hughes Bros, continuing to offer after-sales and warranty support for existing Kubota customers.
It is run as a co-operative with six equal partners, employing two additional staff members. Tim Hughes, dealer principal, says that the business is structured to make the most of each partner’s strengths.
“This really is a team business that continues to grow, while remaining totally focused on looking after customers – both new and existing,” he said.
“We have some very experienced partners in the business with their own specialist areas, and one was previously a Kubota apprentice. All have prior experience of a dealership business and the Kubota brand, and we all share a common vision, direction and customer-led focus.”
