Stiga Ltd has announced the appointment of Brian Pattle as territory manager for their south-western area.

Originally from Somerset, Brian started working life as a trainee agricultural mechanic which fuelled his interest in machinery both small and large. Since then, Brian has gained more than 20 years experience in the industry, both in retail and distribution. Stiga says Brian has an excellent understanding of dealer business and recognises the importance of a strong independent dealer network.

Now based in Dorset, Brian’s area will cover mid and south Wales and the south west of England.

A spokesperson for Stiga said, "We are delighted to welcome Brian to the Stiga UK team and are sure his customers will enjoy the highest levels of service and support."
