Dorset Tractors, based in Blandford Forum, has joined the McCormick dealer network, with a sales area covering Dorset.
The family-run agricultural engineering firm has more than 40 years of experience in machinery repair.
“This is a very exciting development for our company,” said Sam Percy, director, Dorset Tractors. “We’ve been growing year on year but felt that we could offer something more to our customers while retaining full commitment to our long-established core business: the repair, maintenance and servicing of machinery.
“Taking on a franchise, which would put us in a position to offer customers the full package of tractor, servicing and staff support, felt like a natural progression in terms of cementing our business within Dorset.
“This franchise partnership with McCormick is a first for Dorset Tractors, represents a tremendous opportunity for us and it’s one that we intend to make the most of.”
Richard Haines, commercial director at Argo Tractors GB, adds: “The Percy family’s expertise in farm machinery repair and restoration is well-known throughout the South West.
“Their long-standing commitment to providing the best customer service makes them an ideal fit for the McCormick brand. We’re confident that their commitment to excellence will showcase our competitive line-up while deepening our commercial roots across the region.”
The company will showcase its new franchise at upcoming events, with two McCormick tractors at the Dorset County Show on the 6th and 7th of September, and an X7.624 working in the field at the Dorset Cultivation Event on 24 September.
