Kubota appoints Hughes Agri Oswestry

Kubota appoints Hughes Agri Oswestry

Kubota (UK) Ltd is adding to its agricultural and groundcare dealer network with the appointment of Hughes Agri Oswestry with immediate effect. The Shropshire-based dealer will strengthen coverage throughout the north of the county, and the north/mid-Wales border region.

Kubota appoints Hughes Agri Oswestry

“We are pleased to welcome Hughes Agri into the Kubota dealer network as we continue to develop our business based on past successes,” said Henry Bredin, division manager of Kubota (UK)’s agricultural and ground care machinery business.

“The appointment of Hughes Agri as a full-line Kubota tractor dealer will provide on-going support to existing customers operating in these areas, in addition to delivering sales, service and aftercare for Kubota’s agricultural and groundcare product portfolio.”

Established in April 2025 as a spares and repairs business following the closure of the family-run Hughes Bros operation, Hughes Agri Oswestry has continued to provide after sales service, spares and warranty support for existing Kubota customers in the area.

Run by a co-operative of six equal partners and employing two additional members of staff, the firm has been structured to make the most of each partner’s individual strengths, as dealer principal Tim Hughes explained.

“This really is a team business that continues to grow, while remaining totally focussed on looking after customers – both new and existing,” he said. “We have some very experienced partners in the business with their own specialist areas, and one was previously a Kubota apprentice. All have prior experience of a dealership business and the Kubota brand, and we all share a common vision, direction and customer-led focus.”

In addition to M-series tractors, Hughes Agri will be handling Kubota implements and groundcare equipment, including the new EK1 compact tractor and FC4 series of out-front, commercial ride-on rotary mower.

“It’s certainly an exciting time for us, as we push forward with a new business venture backed up by a very experienced and knowledgeable team,” said Tim Hughes.
