    Kubota announces dealership expansion

    Lancashire-based Kubota dealer, GGM, will widen its Kubota portfolio with expansion into the agricultural sector, offering the higher horsepower M-series tractors R0 pivot-steer loaders alongside the existing groundcare business.

    The extended product range is a logical stop for the dealership as it looks to broaden its customer base with a full range of Kubota tractors.

    “GGM’s expansion into agriculture continues to reinforce Kubota’s commitment to its customers and the markets,” explained Henry Bredin, general manager of Kubota (UK)’s Tractor Business Unit. “GGM already has considerable M-series tractor experience, having delivered on sales, service and support with smaller M4003 and M5002 models to a broad spectrum of customers and industries.”

    GGM has had a longstanding relationship with the manufacturer, dating back 45 years. It runs a second depot out of Merseyside and will supply agricultural customers throughout Merseyside, parts of Lancashire and West Yorkshire. At present the company employs over 40 people, headed up by managing director Chris Gibson, his wife Hilary and son Thomas.

    “This is an exciting new chapter for our business,” explained GGM’s Chris Gibson. “Many of our staff already have experience and knowledge of the smaller M-series tractors, and we’re in the process of increasing our sales, service and engineering teams to support new and existing customers with Kubota’s higher horsepower tractors and implements, as we extend into the agricultural sector.”

    He highlighted that the company has experience delivering fixed-cost service contracts for the groundcare sector, backed up by Kubota’s warranty package, and this could be a benefit to many agricultural customers.

    “We know just how robust and reliable the smaller M-series tractors are, and we’ve every confidence that the higher-powered models will deliver the same levels of Japanese reliability along with a competitive fixed cost of ownership,” he said.

    “We already have a strong and competent team that is capable of delivering first-class customer service and support, with professional groundcare machinery. And we’re confident of replicating that same level of support across the farming sector.”
