AMAZONE COMMENCE WORK ON NEW BUILDING At their Orchard Farm site
In 2015 Amazone Ltd invested in Orchard Farm, a 30 acre holding at Auckley, Doncaster as their Training, Research and Education centre.
Heralding the next stage in the site's development, this week has seen the start of the erection of a new purpose-built building that will also house the sales and service division. Following this multi-million pound investment, the site will encompass spare parts supply, whole goods distribution and the infrastructure behind the whole business.
The glass-fronted Active Centre will provide a machinery showroom and training facilities to Orchard Farm visitors
Described as a state-of-the-art facility, the company says it will benefit their employees as well as their client base alike. Through the integration of a new Active Centre, Orchard Farm will continue to host Amazone’s Training, Research and Education facility, yet with improved facilities.
Orchard Farm has provided an in-house facility where machinery operators, dealer service staff and the next generation of farmers, via the education of students from agricultural colleges and universities from across the UK, have benefitted from training. Here also trials work has been carried out, as well as the site having the ability to demonstrate the wide range of equipment available to prospective clients.
Amazone's existing site at Harworth was put on the market and is now sold pending the completion of the Orchard Farm development and, all being well, the companuy says 2018 should see the transfer of the business from Blyth Road across to the new site - and the start of a new era in the life of Amazone and its staff.
