Tallis Amos Group (TAG) has confirmed plans for a new depot in Shropshire at Allscott, between Shrewsbury and Telford. The announcement follows TAG’s appointment as the John Deere dealer to cover Shrewsbury and Newport in Shropshire. The new depot is due to open in October 2022.
TAG was formed in 2012 when two long standing John Deere dealerships, Alexander & Duncan and Chris Tallis Farm Machinery, joined forces. The company traces its roots back to 1912 and has been supporting farming businesses in the West Midlands for more than 100 years, with 56 years as John Deere agents.
Currently operating four depots in the West Midlands and Wales, at Evesham, Kemble, Leominster and Narberth, TAG already has plans to open an additional site near Lampeter in October this year.
To ensure that the company can deliver outstanding support to customers throughout the Shrewsbury and Newport area, TAG is now actively recruiting sales, parts, service, precision agriculture and administration staff. Rea Valley Tractors will continue to be authorised Deere dealers until October 31, 2022.
“The new depot at Allscott is perfectly positioned to support farming and contracting businesses throughout Shropshire,” Simon Amos, TAG Agricultural sales director, Simon Amos, said. “Although there will be some work required to get the site ready, we’re confident we can be up and running within a few months. We’re also investing heavily in parts and service capacity at Leominster to further support customers from South and West Shropshire.”
TAG HR manager Eve Tubb said at 40,000 square feet, the Allscott site would become the biggest in group.
“With a current team of more than 130, we’re looking to recruit an additional 30 people to help fully support Shropshire customers,” she added.
