Gordon ‘Monty’ Davies retired from Gwynedd-based dealership Major Owen Ltd. last month, having begun working for them in October 1989.

His role involved managing sales of ground and turf care machinery across the North coast of North Wales, Chester, and the Wirral. Over the next few decades Monty helped to shape Major Owen Ltd. into the company as it’s known today.

Monty’s specialist knowledge ranged from Kubota ground care machinery, small agri tractors and utility vehicles to professional turf care machinery such as Dennis and SISIS.

This range allowed him to identify the needs of caravan and camping parks, contractors, and sports venues to mention a few, whilst delivering the highest standard of customer service.

Monty said, "Major Owen Ltd. was part of my daily round when I was working for Walker Engineering and the only place I’d be offered a cup of tea. I knew I wanted to work for this company!”

Andy Jones, MD for Major Owen Ltd. said, “Monty will be sorely missed not just by us but the customers and manufacturers alike. He was a big asset to our company with a wide knowledge base for ground and turf care machinery. We wish Monty all the best in his retirement.”

Major Owen Ltd. have since appointed Andy Camwell as Monty’s Replacement. Andy will be working along the North coast of Wales as well as Anglesey. He is contactable on 07770 886000 or on andy.camwell@majorowen.co.uk
