TRP chairman Roger Pearson and managing director Jonathan Pearson spent several months examining options for a new tractor franchise at their Sleaford headquarters in Lincolnshire and the Everton branch near Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Their appointment as McCormick sales and service dealers was confirmed by national distributor AgriArgo UK when the red tractors featured prominently on TRP's Lincolnshire Show stand.

"We had several approaches from different manufacturers and weighed up the product range that would best suit the types of farming served by our branches, as well as the way the suppliers do business," says Roger Pearson. "In the final analysis, we got a positive message from other McCormick dealers about the team at AgriArgo and concluded that the McCormick product range would be our best choice."

TRP Ltd now has a McCormick territory east of the M1 extending south from Goole to Stamford and bordering the territories of established McCormick dealers Yorkshire Handlers to the north, and JPM Agricultural and Robert H Crawford covering the rest of Lincolnshire. To the west, the TRP territory borders Catley Engineering at Desford, Alkmonton Tractors near Ashbourne, N&S Moorhouse at Barugh and Barlows of Henbury.

"We're delighted to welcome such an established operation as TRP to the national McCormick dealer network," says Ray Spinks, sales director and general manager at AgriArgo UK. "TRP has the resources and commitment to providea high standard of parts, repairs and servicing support to users of our tractors."
