Three new turf appointments at John Deere

February 5, 2020/in News, Press Release/by Steve Mitchell

Three new turf appointments at John Deere: Following a strategic reorganisation of John Deere’s professional turf business in Europe, Brian D’Arcy has been appointed as turf division sales manager for the company’s newly created Region 2 Sales Division 1.

This covers the UK and Ireland plus additional key markets in Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland.

New John Deere turf appointments

Brian is a graduate of Tralee Institute of Technology in Ireland, where he gained a degree in Agricultural Engineering Management. He joined John Deere Limited at Langar, Nottingham in July 2007 as a tractor sales demonstration instructor, before being promoted to the role of crop systems specialist in 2009 and then later that same year to agricultural territory manager for Wales and the West Midlands, a position he held until July 2014.

Brian then became UK and Ireland strategic account manager for turf and other non-agricultural products, before moving to Deere’s European HQ in Mannheim, Germany in October 2018 as Region 2 product manager for compact and utility tractors.

As a result of the structural changes, Richard Charleton has been promoted to a new additional strategic account manager position for golf and turf covering the UK and Ireland, alongside Michael Grey (who replaced Brian D’Arcy in this role in 2018). Alongside this responsibility, Richard is also taking on the position of John Deere Limited turf territory manager for Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Richard is a graduate of Rycotewood College in the UK, where he gained a higher national certificate in Agricultural Engineering. He joined John Deere in January 1991 as a sales demonstration instructor for the UK and Ireland, before being promoted to the role of turf area service manager for both countries in 1994. Richard then became turf territory manager for Scotland and the north of England in 1996, a position he has held until this latest promotion.

Following his appointment, Joanne Gregory has replaced Richard Charleton as John Deere Limited’s new turf territory manager for Scotland and the north of England. Joanne is a graduate of Harper Adams University, where she gained a BSc (Hons) in Agricultural Business Management, and she spent her student placement year with the marketing team at Langar.

Before joining John Deere full-time, Joanne worked for leading chartered surveyors and specialist property consultants Fisher German LLP. Joanne started at Langar in May 2019 as product sales specialist for homeowner equipment, liaising with and supporting the UK and Ireland dealer network.

KAR UK – the leading wholesaler of irrigation equipment in the UK, provide a wide range of irrigation products to the horticultural, agricultural, landscape and sports turf markets in the UK and Ireland.

KAR UK Wins Top Sales Growth Award

The company has gone from strength to strength over recent years and its success can partly be attributed to working only with the most prominent manufacturers – one of which is Kasco. KAR UK distribute the innovative Kasco product portfolio, and by all accounts it was a huge year for the two companies.

For over 50 years, Kasco – a family owned company, has offered world-leading water quality solutions. Today, the company manufactures high quality products such as fountains, surface aerators, diffused aerators, de-icers, circulators and beneficial bacteria to aquatic industries – all of which are designed to improve water quality.

Commenting on KAR UK’s award, Joe Holz, Kasco’s International Sales Manager, said: “We are extremely proud to present KAR UK with an award recognising their Top Sales Growth for 2019. KAR UK earned this award by being one of the fastest growing Kasco distributors in the world.

“Combining their knowledge of the product and excellent customer service, KAR UK was able to dramatically grow their Kasco sales in 2019 with excellent prospects for 2020 and beyond. We, at Kasco, would like to thank them for their partnership with us and we look forward to more award recognitions in the future”

In reflecting upon the achievement, KAR UK’s UK Sales Manager, Mike McDonnell, said: “We are delighted to have won this award for the first time. My thanks go to Kasco, for recognising our contribution, to everyone at KAR for all the hard work, and also to our customers for their continuing support.”
