Kevin Walker On-Site Plant
Services celebrates 20 Years in
Business & 10 Years as Kramer
uk dealer of the year
2014 sees a big milestone for Kevin Walker – 20 years in business
and achieving the KRAMER UK dealer of the year award for 10 Years
– no mean achievement. Ian Wilkinson went along to find out more.
Kevin Walker started his
business back in1994 at
Rainton near Thirsk, just off
the A19. Over the years he
has developed the whole
site including building his
own period-style house,
making his home and
business a completely
contained unit.
“This means that providing
a genuine 24/7 service is

made much easier,” he said.
‘We now have more than
1000 customers and are
the biggest seller of Kramer
Allrad machines and parts in
the UK.
“With the advent of the
internet and ever-growing
recommendations we trade
far and wide .We pride
ourselves on having a
constant supply of machines

and parts which means
when you come to see us,
you won’t have to wait for
delivery.
“In my opinion, we have by
far the best machine on the
market with many models
and applications - making
the Kramer very popular for
farms in the Yorkshire region,
their manoeuvrability means
they are at ease in tight areas
saving time and money.
This, coupled with robust
construction and reliability,
really makes them a must for
the modern farmer.”
A TOP TEAM WITH UP
TO DATE KNOWLEDGE
Businesses like this don’t
build themselves and Kevin
paid tribute to his team.
“I have always had a
strong team around, not
least Nigel Richardson who

is my invaluable right hand
man and is responsible for
all parts and service calls,
warranties and some of the
sales side.
“The rest of our team

‘In my opinion,
we have the
best machines
on the market’
have a wealth of experience
with Kramers, but we do
ensure that they visit the
factory regularly so they are
absolutely up to date at all
times,” Kevin explained.
“I believe if I look after my
staff, then they will look after
our customers. Here we
pride ourselves in not being
a ‘Briefcase and Brochure’
outfit - every one of us knows
