Bob Wild true American style on the Monday, after just a three minute meeting, the rug was whipped from under their feet and the franchise taken away without warning - with only weeks to settle the account – no stock to be taken back and only 12 weeks grace for parts etc. Many of Bob’s loyal customers couldn’t believe the situation. ‘Don’t make rash judgements or decisions’ Bob was shocked but he is not a man with panic in his vocabulary. He is relatively quiet even slightly reserved, so when I asked him one of his routes to success his response was: “Don’t make rash judgements or decisions.” This stood him in good stead HENRY SHEACH GRASS MACHINERY LTD and the search began for a replacement for the Deere franchise. In the meantime, sales from the other key franchises plus used machinery was immediately focussed on and - as they have such a loyal customer base – the repair and maintenance business wasn’t really affected. After muc h searching for the replacement franchise with a premium range, and after detailed negotiations from November 2015 to this July, the deal with KUBOTA was agreed. From there things have really taken off. KUBOTA have a highly diverse range which suits all Bob’s customer base and take up has already been strong. Another very popular range is the BOBCAT Zero Turn ride on mowers – hugely effective for a variety of applications. Bob also offers the comprehensive range of Polaris Utility vehicles.
