Kubota UK has strengthened its team with the appointment of Andy Southerton as Dealer Manager.

Within his new role, Andy will support the dealer network across the UK on products, parts, industry trends, sales and training.

Andy is well grounded in the field, bringing a new and exciting offering to the team, having spent over 20 years within the tractor and groundcare sector. He joins Kubota from George Brown's dealership where he's spent the last five years as Branch & Sales Manager, helping improve sales, setting targets, managing stock, and overseeing the day-to-day running.

Commenting on his new role, Andy said: "It's an extremely exciting time to join Kubota UK, and I'm eager to start my new role.

"After working client-side within dealers for eight years, my new role will enable me to impart my dealer knowledge and help grow Kubota in the UK, building on existing strengths and maximising opportunities for growth and success at a time where the product ranges are continually expanding.

"I look forward to working closely with dealers to grow their expertise to then pass on to the consumer, making sure that everyone who buys, hires and operates a Kubota machine, what ever model it may be, has the best possible service experience."
