Midland John Deere dealers join forces

John Deere dealers Chris Tallis Farm Machinery and Alexander & Duncan are to merge on 1st May 2012 to form the Tallis Amos Group.

Following the merger, both dealerships will continue to trade under their existing names at their respective branches: Chris Tallis at Evesham, Bibury and Dursley in Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, and Alexander & Duncan at Leominster in Herefordshire.

The new company will be owned by the Tallis and Amos families, with managing director Ben Tallis based at the Evesham head office and sales director Simon Amos based at Leominster running the company as partners. The four sites will employ over 80 people, nearly half of these being service technicians.

Deere’s announcement that it wants all European dealers to achieve annual turnover of ā‚¬25 million has caused a number of its dealers to join forces.
