JG Plant

Hearing that JG Plant New Holland dealers in Bridgend and Hereford have gone into liquidation. Feel sorry for all the staff laid off just before christmas, its a pretty tough job being a dealer these days.

Maybe taking on the other dealership was too much. I wonder if they had any choice in the matter. Fantastic company to deal with.

looks like hereford is been taken over by th white not sure about bridgend

Did Terry Coles still have a steak in it or did he sell it all to inscapes

 

[Beames]

Pretty sure Terry only owns the premises now. They’ve not been the same to deal with since he left.

 

[Leyland255]

Did a deal with Terry back in March on a new tractor top man to deal.with I said to my old man once Terry finishes thatl be the end of them

 

[Beames]

I went in two years ago to buy a second hand tractor and with in 15 mins terry had me signed up to a brand new one. Top bloke to deal with.

Was sorry to hear this, know a couple of lads that work there.

Uncertainty about your job is not nice, especially at Christmas.

Hope the rumoured take over will get sorted soon.

I understand th whites are taking over the hereford depo on monday so guessing the staff must be staying as its happening very quick

I hope so they are a very good company to deal with, with good knowledgeable staff

Friend of mine is owed a fair sum from them so I guess he won’t get it.... it’s not only the staff but also the suppliers that will lose. Sad day for all

 

[Case856xl]

I’ve just sent him a link to this thread, he ain’t happy as the directers must have known for months this was happening.

 

[Gone Shooting]

Surely things must have been tight before - they haven't long taken on Ereford ? We thought TH would have taken them on then but probably got a better deal now - hope TH are new owners.

 

[Still Farming]

Hope staff get their owed wages with
Christmas and everything?
Very Sad.
Was very good business when Mr and Mrs Coles had/ran it.

Letter from TH White today confirming taking on Hereford branch. No mention of Bridgend though. Guessing with 3 NH dealers already in South Wales, it won't get replaced ?

I heard bridgend had dragged them down, hereford was paying well and doing alot of business.

Good point, a little off my patch.

Things havent been right for a while there theyve been unable to get parts for some machinery due to manufacturers not giving them credit the same with stock machines etc Also not very keen to book parts on account and would rather do a discount for cash sales. Since the take over every department has been a shambles to deal with sad for terry to see it all fold up though after years of hard work hopefully the staff get sorted soon

Somone will replace them surely its a big area and a fair way from the other 3 none of which have the staff to cover a biger area as they are
