South Wales-based Hopkins Machinery has taken on the Kverneland franchise. The new dealer will cover south and mid-Wales, plus parts of west Gloucestershire.
Based at St Brides Wentloog in Newport, the family-run dealership started by Ted Hopkins in 1987 operates with 18 service technicians across depots that include Brecon in Powys, and its newest location at Kilcot, near Newent, Gloucestershire.
“We have been looking to grow our business by providing a much more focussed approach for new and existing agricultural customers, and the broad Kverneland portfolio is a perfect fit,” said Evan Hopkins (pictured), who is involved with day-to-day running of the business alongside his parents Chris and Jayne.
He added that pushing the company’s area north and east through the Kilcot depot has opened up greater opportunities for arable equipment. “Alongside Kverneland’s grass and feeding machinery, an extensive range of arable equipment gives us exactly what we and our customers need, to move forward.”
With Kverneland-trained engineers and an extensive stock of original parts and machines within Hopkins Machinery’s three dealerships, after-sales and service for existing Kverneland customers in the area will continue without interruption.
