Shame they don't seem keen to come over the border and put a dealership in Staffordshire ......

Thought someone would have done it before now, or at least said they knew last Preston guild.

So they've given up the McCormick side of things then? I wonder if there will be anything going cheap..

Think people knew a while ago but no point talking about it until official?

Whoops I'm starting to sound like The Duck with such dangerous inside information... [emoji849]

Think they must of left the McCormick franchise as I see all the vans are now stickered up as new holland but I also notice the old ravenhill boys "battlefield machinery" are doing a lot of new holland servicing and repair work still???

I think glyn jones has gone on his own @stuart

I think a couple the ravenhill mechanics have gone to Rea valley also... don't think it's much of the origional team just the people at the top? Could be wrong....

Hi, just for info we have kept approx half the staff formerly at Ravenhill, only one of which was in Management,Meyrick who is now a partner in Battlefield Machinery, 5 out of the 7 senior mechanics (Martin and Mick are based at Newport, Chris Aled and Mark) are working for us, as well as one of the ex Ravenhill boys (Simon) who is helping us with Combine repairs. Grant who worked in Sales has stayed in the same role, Alun/Rupert is still with us in the workshop, as is Shane in the Stores.Sue is the company secretary who ran the office for Ravenhill previously. I myself used to work at Ravenhill for some years, until the last four years when I have worked for Kverneland, we are now the Main dealers for Kverneland as Ravenhill were previous for the Shropshire area and Kubota for the area around Shrewsbury and heading south.
we are now fully open for parts, service and sales, for all makes of machinery and plant, but will continue to do what we know best! We have a large stock of parts in Shrewsbury also!
Thanks for your time reading this essay, we will be sending another letter out to all, and will be holding an open evening on April 20th for those interested.
Cheers, Richard Evans

Think we mentioned it in the Rumours thread a few weeks back, it's been pretty widely known in the area since sometime before Christmas.

Be nice if one did go to Newport be handy! Better than travelling a hour to hallmark at Cubley...
