Glenn Bootman has taken on the role of product manager for the Alpego and Ovlac brands distributed in the UK by Opico.
With three decades of expertise with cultivation and tillage equipment, Glenn’s passion for agriculture and machinery initially came from growing up around his family’s haulage and agricultural contracting business.
After starting his career as a demonstrator at Dowdeswell Engineering, he was later promoted to product manager. Glenn joined Opico in 2011 as a territory manager and was appointed as the company’s He-Va product specialist in 2019. In addition to his product manager responsibilities, he will continue his territory role covering the south-central England area.
“The Alpego and Ovlac brands add some new types of machines to our already extensive line-up allowing Opico to offer a full range of cultivation products for the broad spectrum of arable farming systems employed in the UK today,” comments Glenn.
He adds that getting to know and understand the new brands and their products has been enjoyable. “It has allowed me to bring my previous knowledge up to date with new products and concepts and apply it to today’s farming challenges. I look forward to sharing my experience with new and existing dealers together with prospective customers alike”.
In his spare time, when not tinkering with his vintage and classic vehicle collection, Glenn enjoys spending time with his wife and son on their narrowboat, travelling around the UK.
