In a statement the dealership that has branches in Scotland at Haddington, Selkirk and Kinross said that as well as working with three generations of Hendersons, Jim is well known by generations of farming customers in the area. Describing Jim's 68 years with the company as a "considerable achievement", the directors went on to thank him for all his years of dedicated service.

 

A.J Henderson, managing director of Henderson GM, said, "When Jim first started with us at our Gorgie Road depot in Edinburgh, his mode of trasport was a bicycle and many farms used horses - how times have moved on! 

 

"Jim had a new lease of life in 1989 when he was collected from the Royal Highland Show to have a heart transplant at Freemans in Newcastle.

 

"Unfortunatley over the last few years, Jim's health has deteriorated and with the ongoing Covid-19 situation we have asked him to retire.

 

"The directors and staff at Henderson Grass Machinery wish him and Fergie all the best for the future. I am sure we shall stay in touch with him, as will most of his past customers."
