New Holland's Marketing Manager Richard (Dick) Spencer is to leave the company, and will be taking up the role of Group Sales Manager for C & O Tractors on April 21st.

He will also be branch manager at the CNH main dealer's head office at Blandford looking after the sales function at the other three branches at Wilton, Midhurst and the Isle of Wight.

He told Service Dealer, "It has been a tough decision to leave CNH after 31 years. I've enjoyed a full and varied career, but this new opportunity will enable me to grow in a different environment and I am very excited about this new challenge. The move also enables me to move our family home from Essex to Dorset, where we will be closer to family".
