New challenge for county firm

RVW Pugh Ltd is pleased to announce that it has been appointed by AGCO as main dealers for the Challenger product range and are now Fendt dealers for the whole of Shropshire and Staffordshire.

In their 30th year of business, RVW Pugh Ltd is forging ahead with its expansion plans for the business, which operates from its head office based near Churchstoke, Powys.

Pugh's has been awarded new territory for the Fendt franchise which now covers, in its entirety, Shropshire and Staffordshire, Cheshire and the majority of Wales. In addition, RVW Pugh Ltd will also be representing the Challenger product range throughout Shropshire, Staffordshire, Cheshire, Wales and Herefordshire.

To support customers in the new territory, the company will be opening a new depot later this spring in Market Drayton, next to the livestock market, under the name RVW Pugh & Co (2008) Ltd.

This will be a partnership between RVW Pugh Ltd and Steve Lewis who has decided to join forces with RVW Pugh Ltd to form this new venture. Steve has been working locally in the agricultural industry for many years and has established good relationships with valued customers and suppliers.

Robert Pugh, managing director of RVW Pugh Ltd commented: "This is an exciting new project for Steve and ourselves. We will soon be offering a complete sales, parts and service facility from Market Drayton and aim to replicate the excellent back up service for Massey Ferguson which is currently operated from our Churchstoke and Sandbach depots."

Pugh's also represents the following brands in their existing territory and now throughout Shropshire and Staffordshire - SUMO, Merlo, Hanix, Pottinger, Vicon, Yamaha and other well known products.

To launch this new venture RVW Pugh Ltd is holding an event at Walford College on Wednesday, February 13 from 11am until 8pm
