VICON TERRITORY CHANGES Alan Rowdon takes over from Stuart Hamilton
After 22 years with Vicon, south west area key account manager Stuart Hamilton retired from the company at the end of 2012.
Prior to joining the business in 1988, Stuart spent nine years working for an MF dealer in the south west, handling sales and demonstrations. He joined a new business, MF Implements, as area manager for Wales, South England and the South West, which went through changes of ownership to become part of the Kverneland Group.
Stuart's position has been filled by 33-year old Alan Rowdon. He joins Vicon after a two-year period with Twose of Tiverton, as sales manager for the south west and Wales. Prior to this role, he spent two years with Case IH dealership Dayment & Skelton at Totnes, Devon. A farmer's son with dairy farming and contracting experience, Alan brings considerable knowledge of machinery to his role of Vicon key account manager for the south west.
In the north west region, 33-year old Steve Basnett has returned to the Vicon brand after three and a half years with New Holland, where he spent two years as tractor product marketing specialist in the UK, prior to which he spent 18 months in the firm's European demonstration team. Steve first joined Vicon in 2005, working with the Vicon Challenge demonstration team. He has successfully gained a BSC in agriculture with land and farm management, studying at Harper Adams University.
