Agricultural machinery manufacturer Claydon has appointed an exports manager to head the company’s export sales team, which reports to commercial director, Spencer Claydon.
The company says, with a pioneering attitude to developing new markets, an ability to identify opportunities for new products, an excellent understanding of agriculture, including soils, cropping and agronomic practices throughout the world, plus hands-on experience of demonstrating products and developing dealer networks, Simon Revell is ideally qualified for the position.
“I have known Jeff Claydon for many years and watched his company grow progressively, both in the UK and overseas,” Simon said. “During that time, it has earned an excellent reputation with customers, distributors and dealers for the quality of its products and the integrity with which it does business. I am delighted to be working for this progressive UK-based family business, which has a very knowledgeable, highly-motivated team who provide farmers with agronomically and financially sustainable crop establishment solutions, as well as supplying dealers with excellent products to develop and strengthen their businesses.”
Spencer Claydon said, “We are delighted to have Simon on-board. His immense practical experience and expertise of working with farmers, dealers and distributors will be a real asset to our business in further developing existing markets and opening up new opportunities.”
Enjoying a long career in the agricultural machinery industry Simon's most recent role was as a member of the Simba Board where, following the company’s acquisition by Great Plains, he was given additional responsibilities for developing sales of UK products in overseas markets.
