DEALERSHIP EXPANDS AFTER PURCHASE

Family-run dealership J&S Montgomery, which covers the west coast of Scotland, has expanded its trading area through the purchase of DKR Agricultural Services based at Coulter, near Biggar. 

Douglas Montgomery, dealer principal at J&S Montgomery said, “We’re delighted to have expanded into Lanarkshire and are currently working with DKR and its staff to ensure it’s business as usual for all customers and staff, as the Coulter site is integrated into the J&S Montgomery portfolio, to operate alongside our existing premises at Beith, Stranraer and Ayr.”

DKR Agricultural Services - a business run by David Doig, his sister Susan, and brother Keith - has been trading since 1989 and predominantly serves livestock and dairy farms, in addition to contractors and a significant number of arable-focused operations.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming customers old and new through the doors at our newly integrated depot based at Coulter, as we increase our trading area for the Kverneland product range,” said Douglas. “We’ll also be holding a launch event at Lanark market on April 17 to introduce our brands to the wider farming community.”

Dan Crowe, managing director of major supplier Kverneland, said: “We are pleased to support further development of the J&S Montgomery business, which adds clarity to the distribution of the Kverneland portfolio in this area. As a result, R&R Machinery - formerly Ross of Lanark - will no longer be part of the Kverneland dealer network.”
