Argo Tractors the UK distributor of the McCormick and Landini products, has made a new appointment which they say intends to both drive sales and develop the dealer network in the south and south-west of England.

Finlay Bassett has joined the business as territory manager for the those regions, in a role that will see him support Landini and McCormick dealers and help strengthen their presence in the market.

“As we continue to roll out new products, we want to capitalise on the strong working relationships we have with local family dealerships who not only supply new tractors but back them with high levels of service and a full aftermarket parts offering,” says Argo Tractors UK and Ireland managing director Adrian Winnett.

“In the south and south-west, Finlay will now be working not only to help our existing dealers in this respect, but also to strengthen our network with new dealer appointments to ensure both our McCormick and Landini brands have maximum presence in the marketplace.

“Finlay joins us with a strong and proven heritage of selling tractors, implements and construction machinery, as well as field-based technology, having worked for a UK importer and at dealer level. He has a strong background in direct selling on farm, plus skills in engineering and formal training in marketing. That makes him well-placed to help our dealers to grow sales of tractors and parts to support farmers in these regions."
