AN agricultural machinery company in Cornwall has joined forces with a trailer brand as its official supplier in the Duchy. 

Cornwall Farm Machinery has been appointed as distributor for Ifor Williams Trailers (IWT). 

Rob Hattam, general manager of Cornwall Farm Machinery, said both companies have shared interests and an overlapping customer base.

“We offer the best machines in the business," said Rob.

"Farmers’ livelihoods depend on the reliability of the machines we supply so it’s important that we provide them with the names they know they can trust.

“The addition of Ifor Williams Trailers range to our repertoire can only reinforce that confidence. We’re very excited to be working together with the IWT team.”

Cornwall Farm Machinery supplies tractors, walk-behind mowers, balers, fertiliser-spreaders, rakes, quadbikes and other farm accessories.

The IWT products will be sold from Cornwall Farm Machinery’s main depot in Truro, and it will be the official supplier for the large central and southern areas of Cornwall.

IWT has global reach with its products that are made in its six factories in Denbighshire and Flintshire, in North Wales. They are sold in outlets across Europe and as far as Australia and New Zealand.

Rob added: “They are without doubt a market leader at home and abroad. You will see their trailers wherever you go in the world.

“The IWT range also fits seamlessly with other products we distribute like the internationally renowned Case IH tractors brand, also known for their robust quality.

“We are really excited about this new partnership because there is so much potential to build on. Ultimately our aim is to provide the agricultural community in Cornwall with the machines which exactly meet all their needs.

“We will be supplying most customers from stock for the wide product range of trailers, so waiting times for all model variants will be minimal and we will have quick access to the Genuine Parts at competitive prices."

IWT sales manager Lois Wynne said she is 'delighted' that they have signed Cornwall Farm Machinery as their newest distributor.

She said: “We’re delighted to be working with the progressive and positive sales team led by Rob Hattam at Cornwall Trailer Centre, the new subsidiary of Cornwall Farm Machinery.

“This is a flagship company in Cornwall, deservedly very successful and with an admirably professional approach to all that they do.

“From our perspective they’re well-known for the high standard of their customer service which gives us the confirmation and confidence that they will look after our customers exceptionally well.

“We already have a distributor in the north of Cornwall and now it is time to invigorate our presence in the mid to south areas. Cornwall Farm Machinery is ideal for helping us achieve that task, well located in Truro, with easy highly visible access.

“This is an exciting opportunity for both parties to grow sales and expand on our already enviable reputations for first class products and first class service.”
