FRANCHISE GAIN LEADS TO EXPANSION

As part of last week's news that as of January 1st 2023 Tuckwells will no longer represent JCB, was the announcement by the manufacturer that they had agreed with two existing JCB Agriculture dealers to cover the territory.

Now one of those, Oliver Landpower Ltd, has made a statement about how this change will shape their future development.

In an official announcement Oliver Landpower said, "In the coming months we will be looking to acquire and set up a new depot centrally in the territory and recruit staff to operate from this facility, along with a portfolio of complementing machinery franchises.

"The appointment in 2023 also coincides with the 200 year anniversary of Olivers trading as a family business, serving farmers with machinery and services."

In the meantime, Olivers said any sales and aftersales requirements will be covered from their existing dedicated JCB teams at Luton, Kings Langley and Tingewick depots accordingly.
