I couldn't comment. He's been the MD of JD UK since 2016

I would guess he fires the gun but the shareholders and the board will of loaded it and told him where to point it....

Rumour has it John Deere only want 12 dealers to cover the whole uk and Ireland .

He was given main dealer status 12/18 months ago for west Cornwall, with IDM cover the rest of Cornwall, Obviously with IDM finishing that has left an Opening for a Deutz dealership but CFm has a dealership at Penzance as well as Truro so quite established in west Cornwall.
I don't know where the next Deutz dealer would be...well over the border I suspect.

MSW up close to Holsworthy are the neighbouring dealer for SDF

So what if they only want 12 dealers?it shows good business sense to me,all these dealers need paying for and it doesn’t come from jd only us

I did hear on the very long grapevine that CFM will become krone dealers as well.

Why post this? I have utmost respect for JH. This will have come from America

Are you saying the MD of JD UK was unaware of the American decision then? Or that dealer appointments come out via osmosis rather than offcially announced by the UK Company?

It's nothing personal, I don't know the rest the UK Board (I Googled this one)

Don’t be a twit! Yes of course he will be aware . It’s a world wide project. I have never met anyone say a bad word against him. In my dealings with him, I have full respect

Maybe he could come on TFF or sanction his PR to speak for him

He can still have an opinion. Ultimately if he doesn't agree he can choose to leave . Or he can ameliorate the damage.

Or is this just life, business, progress and none of it matters?

I have heard that as well.

Me too

I have used a few Krone machines at a farm in Wiltshire I worked at. Good equipment & it would be good to have a dealer for Krone in Cornwall.

Im pretty sure that there is a krone dealer not a million miles away from CFM at the minute, that won’t go down too well..

Next day delivery ??

Always a good choice in stock
