Merlo UK announces expanded dealer territory for Vincents f

Merlo UK has announced the expansion of dealer territories for Southwest dealer Vincents, effective 1st March 2026. Already an authorised agricultural dealer from their Fraddon and Smithaleigh depots since June 2025, Vincents will now represent the Merlo agricultural product range across all four of their branches - Fraddon (Cornwall), Smithaleigh (South Devon), Holsworthy (North Devon), and Wellington (Somerset).

In addition, Vincents will become the authorised Construction dealer for Devon, further strengthening Merlo’s coverage and customer support across the Southwest.

Merlo UK also confirms that Kellands Plant Sales will continue to represent Merlo in Cornwall, ensuring continuity of service for construction customers from their Camelford depot.

Owen Buttle, National Sales Manager at Merlo UK, commented: “Vincents has demonstrated exceptional commitment and capability since joining the Merlo network. Their expansion to full agricultural coverage across all four depots, paired with their appointment as construction dealer for Devon, reinforces our shared ambition to deliver outstanding customer service, product expertise, and local availability. This is another positive step in strengthening Merlo’s footprint across the Southwest.”

A family-run dealership with 60 years of heritage, Vincents has grown into a multi-branch organisation as a full line Kubota dealer serving a wide range of customers across agriculture, groundcare, and construction, with a wide-ranging product portfolio that includes Kverneland, Ktwo, Joskin, Marshall Trailers across agriculture; Trimax, Trilo, Cramer, and Baroness in the groundcare sector; and Mecalac, Dynapac, Prodem, and Whites MH across the construction range, plus Nugent Trailers. The expansion of their Merlo territory reflects both their sustained growth and the strong performance of their Merlo offering since last summer’s appointment.

Nick Vincent, Dealer Principal at Vincents, said: “Over the past eight months we’ve seen fantastic customer response to the Merlo range, and expanding our agricultural coverage, alongside taking on the construction franchise, allows us to deliver that same high-quality service to even more customers across the region. The Merlo product range fits in seamlessly with our current product offering and gives our customers an all-encompassing premium range of products to choose from. Strategically, this development will strengthen our long-term vision to become the ‘Dealer of Choice in the Southwest’. Working with premium brands, including Merlo, continues to be a vital part of that strategy.”

Vincents will serve Merlo customers from their four strategically located branches:

• Fraddon, Cornwall (Head Office)
• Smithaleigh, South Devon
• Holsworthy, North Devon
• Wellington, Somerset

This expanded appointment ensures farmers, contractors, construction professionals, and landowners across the wider Southwest have direct access to Merlo’s innovative product range - supported by a trusted, multi‑depot dealer with a long-standing reputation for service excellence.
