Claydon Drills has appointed Thurlow Nunn Standen Ltd, East Anglia agricultural machinery distributors, to handle sales and service of Claydon Hybrid drills, TerraStar cultivators and Cambridge Rolls in Norfolk and Suffolk, together with parts of Cambridgeshire and North Essex.

Having previously sold direct to farmers in these areas, with service and support provided from their factory near Newmarket in Suffolk, Claydon Drills say that the new distribution arrangement underlines their high regard for Thurlow Nunn Standen.

The agricultural division of the Thurlow Nunn Group, TNS is based at Littleport in Cambridgeshire. It has additional branches at Attleborough, Hinderclay and Sculthorpe in Norfolk, together with Kennet and Melton in Suffolk.

Announcing the new agreement Spencer Claydon, Commercial Director, stated: “We are delighted that TNS appreciate the business opportunity presented by the Claydon range, which is particularly relevant given the current economic pressures facing farmers. The fact that our factory and 1000-acre arable farm are located within the TNS trading area makes it easy for their commercial team to offer potential customers the opportunity to see the Claydon System in action and machines being built in our modern production facility at Wickhambrook."

Chris Tew, Sales Director of TNS, adds: “We are delighted to be working with Claydons because, like them, we are a well-established family business and take great pride in delivering high quality products and service to our customers. The Claydon range provides an excellent fit with our business and is increasingly relevant to farmers in our trading area. We will be selling Claydon products through all of our branches and have a 3m Hybrid mounted drill, 6m TerraStar light cultivator and 7.5m Straw Harrow available for demonstration.”
