Harry Barclay HRN supposedly told JD to shove it.

Was speaking to Neil Barclay today in Insch, HRN head depot and it is true, told JD to do one, finished selling JD on 31 October.
Believe JD wanted Balbeggie branch area to go to Netherton tractors, that and other things caused the split.
Big screw up for JD I'd have thought.
They were never going to say jd had sacked them off was theyThat really would be big news!!
Been well reported Neil Barclay told them to shove it over 4 months ago now
All pretty much turned out as above.
Harry doing the same really would put the cat in amongst the JD pigeons
Was he at earnvale before?Didn’t realise William Flemings been made up the general manager at Phillips, he’s a complete w*****. contacted several times about machinery i was interested in but never gets back 2 you, when he does its excuse after excuse. Scots shouldn’t have put him in that job, bettter being sacked And its the view of many Phillips customers in tayside

When Manns were the importers of Claas equipment that's exactly what happened, not now of course Claas could see there was money in it for them and in their own greedy way spoilt the infrastructure for everyone.
There are many others of course, Lemken/colchester tillage springs to mind, why can the manufacturers not leave the Independant importer to get on with the job he's doing and stop muscling in to run it from some ivory towers in far off countries. The independent probably knows the market requirements better the manufacturer just starts sniffing around when the hard work has been done distribution sorted and sales are buoyant
? now there’s an ideaHave you rented them a shed?
One thing for sure is I bet the National JD guys that are normally on stands at bigger shows are damn glad of Covid19
They probably wouldn't have gone as Scotland's just heather an sheep in their eyes [emoji23]Yes,
JD stand at this years Highland would have been interesting
Fairly sure he was in that position before Scot JCB takeover of AM Phillip.
Well thought of by most of his former Earnvale customers. That and potential customers he could bring would be main reason why Phillips appointed him branch manager when they opened up in Perth a few years ago.
