L-R: Pottinger Ireland’s general manager Diarmuid Claridge with Raymond McCaffrey

Hailing from Co. Leitrim and having begun his career as an agricultural mechanic with a local dealer, Raymond then went on to work with McHale (based in Co. Mayo). He spent his most recent years travelling around the globe in a product/customer support role.

Pottinger Ireland’s general manager, Diarmuid Claridge commented: “We’re heavily focused on providing the best solutions for today’s farmers – grassland and tillage – and contractors.

“With Raymond’s appointment, we can now offer an extensive and professional after-sales advice and support service – to our growing dealer network and customer base.

“Raymond’s extensive knowledge, expertise and talent will be vital in the continued growth and development of our future business, through our committed dealer network.”

In related news, Pottinger – in conjunction with midlands dealer Atkins (Birr branch) – recently hosted a special working demonstration of its latest equipment.

Among other comments, Diarmuid noted: “Over the years, we’ve seen many people convert from trailed harvesters to wagons and, currently, from self-propelled harvesters. They’re seeing massive advantages – cost savings from the point of view of the contractor and healthier animals for the farmer.
