The dealership says the name change has come about to better reflect the nature of the business, as construction sales have grown and now account for a significant share of total sales. The new name is being launched at this years’ Royal Cornwall Show which opened yesterday (7th June) and continues until Saturday (9th June) at Wadebridge.

Paul Vincent, Managing Director said, “Over the past 52 years the business has grown tremendously, from selling reconditioned tractors to now supplying a vast range of agricultural, groundcare and plant machinery. We decided to change the name to better reflect what is a very important part of our business and to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to our construction customers.

“We have been supplying Kubota excavators since 2006 and over the past 12 years we have found that due to their reliability, residual value and after sales service, they have become extremely popular in Cornwall. Our plant range isn’t just Kubota Excavators, we are also dealers for Exac-One, Engcon, Geith, Chicago Pneumatic, Epiroc, Husqvarna Construction and Whites Material Handling.

“Here at Vincent Tractors and Plant we find that the three areas of our business, agriculture, plant and groundcare, complement each other and we have no plans to change that,” Paul said
