Tallis Amos Group (TAG) has confirmed three sales appointments for its new Shropshire depot at Allscott, between Shrewsbury and Telford. The announcement follows the company’s appointment as the John Deere dealer covering Shrewsbury and Newport in Shropshire.
James Potter has joined TAG from Rea Valley Tractors (RVT) as depot sales manager. From a farming family in Shropshire, Mr Potter attended Harper Adams and worked at McConnel before joining RVT in 2007. With 15 years of experience with the John Deere portfolio and a passion for forage harvesters and precision agriculture, he’s perfectly qualified to help TAG earn farmers’ and contractors’ business and trust.
“After 15 happy years at RVT, I’m looking forward to working with owners Ben Tallis and Simon Amos and the rest of the team,” Mr Potter said. “With more than 40 years of experience running a John Deere dealership, like my family they have very deep roots in selling and supporting John Deere products.
“All the team at Tallis Amos have been very welcoming and I look forward to dealing with customers new and old from the new Allscott Depot.”
Joining James will be Gareth Williams and Dan Mallard. Mr Williams has 25 years of experience in agricultural machinery, with the past 15 at RVT. As well as sales in south Shropshire, he’ll have a wider group role as a TAG combine specialist helping to develop combine sales in Shropshire and Herefordshire.
Mr Mallard takes responsibility for sales around the Newport area. For the past six years, he has been working for Krone UK as territory manager for central England and Wales, and this experience will also help him in his additional role of forager and grassland sales specialist for Shropshire and Herefordshire.
Formed in 2012, TAG now operates five depots in the West Midlands and Wales at Evesham, Kemble, Leominster, Narberth and now Allscott. Another site near Lampeter will open in November 2022.
Employing a team of 140, including skilled after-sales teams and experienced sales representatives, TAG has a comprehensive range of other machinery partners including: Kramer; Pöttinger; Sumo; Pichon; Shelbourne Reynolds; Sulky; AW Trailers; and Bailey Trailers.
