Kubota UK has announced that Lancashire-based dealer GGM has widened its Kubota portfolio as it expands into the agricultural sector with higher horsepower M Series tractors and R0 pivot-steer loaders to sit alongside its existing groundscare business.
The extended product range is a logical step for the dealership as it looks to broaden its customer base with a full range of Kubota tractors suited to the agricultural sector.
“GGM’s expansion into agriculture continues to reinforce Kubota’s commitment to its customers and the markets,” the general manager of Kubota UK’s tractor business unit, Henry Bredin, said. “GGM already has considerable M-series tractor experience, having delivered on sales, service and support with smaller M4003 and M5002 models to a broad spectrum of customers and industries.”
As a specialist supplier of tractors and high-quality professional groundcare machinery, GGM has a long-standing business relationship with Kubota that spans more than 45 years. Based at Colne, with a second depot at Haydock, Merseyside, GGM will be accessible to agricultural customers throughout Merseyside, parts of Lancashire and West Yorkshire.
Accomplished in meeting the needs of horticultural, local authority, estate management, golf and sports turf sectors, this family-owned and run dealership employs a team of more than 40 staff, headed-up by managing director Chris Gibson, his wife Hilary and son Thomas.
“This is an exciting new chapter for our business,” Chris Gibson said. “Many of our staff already have experience and knowledge of the smaller M Series tractors, and we’re in the process of increasing our sales, service and engineering teams to support new and existing customers with Kubota’s higher horsepower tractors and implements, as we extend into the agricultural sector.
“We know just how robust and reliable the smaller M Series tractors are, and we’ve every confidence that the higher-powered models will deliver the same levels of Japanese reliability along with a competitive fixed cost of ownership.”
