lan Snow Agricultural Engineers: Authorised dealers for Fendt & Massey Ferguson ranges of tractor & agricultural machinery.
Southwest farm machinery dealer Alan Snow celebrates 30 years of trading in 2012. Alan, who started his business from the back of a van in 1982, is today the distributor for leading tractor brands, Fendt (Devon and Cornwall) and Massey Ferguson (Cornwall and West Devon). The company operates from premises in Holsworthy, Launceston & Truro and employs over 25 full-time staff.
Alan has been involved with agricultural machinery all his life. Coming from a farming family, at an early age he decided milking cows wasn’t for him. His real passion was tractors and, after leaving school, he took on an apprenticeship with agricultural engineers Fulford Trumps. At the age of 25, he elected to go it alone and set up a small repair business from home in Thornbury. He quickly built up a reputation with farmers in the area and, as a result of customer recommendation, just three years later was appointed service agent for Fendt tractors.
