New Holland has strengthened its UK dealer network with the addition of J&S Lewis Ltd, a family run business in Lancashire that has been established for more than 30 years.
The company will have access to the extensive range of New Holland tractors and harvesting equipment, and will be able to cater more comprehensively for contractors and farmers by offering the full portfolio of combines, round balers and big balers – as well as the full tractor range.
The managing director of J&S Lewis, James Lewis, said business was booming from the moment the New Holland partnership was formed.
“Historically we only tended to sell second-hand New Holland combines,” he said, “but since teaming up with New Holland we’ve sold three new combines, including a CR9060 and a CX8040, as well as four new tractors – and that’s in just a few weeks.
“It just shows that the market in this area is very much there.”
The head office of J&S Lewis operates from a 1.25-acre site at Leigh, in the south of the county, with workshops and offices covering 15,000 square feet.
On site, the J&S Lewis sales department has many years of experience and is looking forward to the opportunity of promoting the New Holland brand within the area.
The team of nine J&S Lewis service engineers are all factory trained and based in the J&S Lewis workshop, which is fully equipped with machine tools, presses, diagnostic equipment, a computerised spares identification system and a mobile dynamometer which is capable of testing machines up to 750hp.
In a region where 90 per cent of the farming is vegetable production and arable cropping, the J&S Lewis and New Holland partnership will offer a greater range of tractors and machines – a lot of which are still made in Britain – for contractors and farmers, with an extensive choice of specification to suit the individual needs of its customers.
The dealership will also be well placed to promote New Holland’s new concept in large-scale agriculture, the T8 and T9 range that redefines high horsepower tractors.
