New to the network are Fife based J Low Agri Services Ltd. Established by Jimmy & Karen Low in 2002 as a tractor hire business, J Low Agri Services quickly expanded into an agricultural engineering service business in the Fife area following Jimmy’s decision to become self-employed. Now based off Junction 4 of the M90 at Kelty, the dealership looks to continue their trend of consistent growth as a Merlo dealer.
Owen Buttle, National Sales Manager of Merlo UK, commented, “Fife is a key agricultural area of Scotland and we are extremely happy to have J Low Agri joining the Merlo network."
Jimmy Low, founder and owner of J Low Agri Services, said, “This is a great opportunity for us to grow our product offering to new and existing customers, we look forward working with Merlo and further developing our business.”
Expanding to become a combined Merlo dealer with the upcoming launch of RAS Plant Sales, Ross Agri Services Ltd will grow the Merlo offering they have provided to their customers since 2020.
