John Deere dealer Thomas Sherriff & Co, based at new premises in Haddington, East Lothian, has bought the business of WM Dodds at Jedburgh and set up a new outlet in Hexham to take over the territory previously managed by Everitt & Marshall.

These developments have extended the dealership’s business area in the Lothians, Borders and Northumberland, with six outlets in total serving customers from the River Forth in Scotland down to Durham in the north-east of England, reaching out west to the Cumbrian border.

The other existing outlets are based at Alnwick, Coldstream and Stow.

“As part of our overall expansion and restructuring plans, the development at Sherriff Haddington has seen a significant investment of almost £2m,” says dealership managing director Colin Weatherhead.

“This ensures that we can maintain the highest level of support to our customers in both the important business sectors of agricultural and professional turf equipment sales and service.
