Lincolnshire-based agricultural dealer RC Setchfield is to join the Merlo network of agricultural dealers.

The full Merlo agricultural telescopic handler range, Cingo tracked carriers, TreEmme attachments and forestry tractors will be available from RC Setchfield.

Founded in 1982 by Richard and Heather Setchfield to service machinery, RC Setchfield later expanded into sales and parts. More recently the business passed to their daughter, Hannah Setchfield, who has led the company as a director since 2021.

“We are delighted by this partnership with Merlo at this juncture in our history, a perfect addition to our current service offerings and existing franchises, solidifying our position as a material handler expert in the local area”, says Hannah Setchfield, director of RC
Setchfield. “All the team are excited to be working with a company that shares our core values; a family business, putting customers and innovation at the centre of its operations, in order to compete and do things differently.”

According to Owen Buttle, national sales manager at Merlo UK, “this appointment symbolises Merlo UK’s commitment to providing our customers with strong and full coverage across South Lincolnshire. As a family-owned business ourselves, we understand the strengths and stability of family-owned and operated companies.”
