Vincents breaks ground on major new Cullompton branch

South West agricultural, construction and groundcare machinery dealer Vincents has broken ground this month (June) on a new purpose-built branch in Cullompton, marking a major milestone in its 60th anniversary year.

The third-generation, family-run business supports customers across Cornwall, Devon and Somerset and is investing in a new long-term base just off the M5. The Cullompton branch is due to open in spring 2027.

Designed to support continued growth across Devon and Somerset, the new freehold branch will include larger workshops, improved staff and customer facilities and an impressive showroom showcasing an extensive range of machinery from leading brands including Kubota, Merlo and Kverneland. It will bring together Vincents’ existing Smithaleigh and Wellington operations into a single, modern, permanent site and will operate alongside its established branches in Fraddon and Holsworthy.

The new location in Cullompton places the business close to established rural retailers such as Mole Valley and on key routes used by many of its customers, strengthening access and regional connectivity.

Brothers Alec and Nick Vincent, third-generation managing directors of the family-run business, said: “As we reach our 60th year, this investment is about securing the right long-term base for our Devon and Somerset operations. Moving to an owned freehold site is a key strategic step for us, giving us the capacity and stability to support customers and continue growing for the long term.

“We’ve built strong relationships across the region, and this new site ensures we’re well positioned to support customers into the future.”

The business, which prides itself on Ken’s founding principle of ‘service at the centre of everything’, continues to benefit from the experience of the second and first generations, with Paul and Ken Vincent remaining actively involved.

Vincents’ renowned service model – including overnight parts delivery – will remain unchanged, with most support continuing to take place at customers’ premises.

“As a family business, maintaining that day-to-day consistency of service is incredibly important to us,” Nick and Alec said. “Our teams will continue to operate out in the field, with the Cullompton site giving us the space, facilities and infrastructure to support that even more effectively.”

Smithaleigh and Wellington will remain fully operational throughout the build period, with all roles transferring to Cullompton when the site opens.

Founded in 1966, Vincents has grown from a tractor engineering workshop into a full-line dealership supplying and supporting agricultural, groundcare and construction equipment across the South West. It is the only dealership in the region offering the full Kubota range and it supplies and services a wide range of new and used machinery which spans everything from balers and disc mowers to robotic mowers, excavators, dumpers and telehandlers.

One supplier, one proven programme at Cromer LTA

At Origin Amenity Solutions (OAS), building long-term relationships with facilities is just as important as supplying the right products. That partnership approach is on full display at Cromer Lawn Tennis & Squash Association, where Groundsman and General Manager Matthew Jordan relies on OAS as the club’s sole supplier of grass seed, nutritional products and line marking paint to maintain 10 busy grass courts through an intensive playing season.

One supplier, one proven programme at Cromer LTA

Cromer LTA is a bustling multi-sport and community venue, offering accessible facilities and coaching for a range of racket sports together with supporting local groups including yoga, chess and running clubs. With around 500 members including 120 juniors, the facilities are open year-round – with the grass courts hosting the brunt of the action between mid-April and the end of September. “For us, maintaining consistently high-quality playing surfaces is essential and it’s something that is much more achievable with the reliable results we achieve with an OAS programme” explains Matthew.

“It’s something that we’ve developed over a number of years, working closely alongside our OAS Area Sales Representative Mark Keysell to establish the right products and gather the practical guidance we need to make informed decisions. We have budgets to work to and really appreciate that Mark respects this and structures a plan that delivers both value and long-term results.”

Keeping the courts fit for daily play in addition to a packed tournament schedule which includes a British Tour event, county championships and junior and senior tournaments begins with the right grass seed, and for that Matthew opts for R9 100% dwarf ryegrass. “This hard-wearing mix is ideal for tennis. After a fairly heavy renovation, we sow R9 at the conclusion of the grass court season and let this establish throughout October.”

Matthew then turns his attention to a winter nutrition programme consisting of Multigreen 15-0-22 to maintain plant health through the colder months before kickstarting spring growth in February with an application of Cold Start Boost-R 11-5-5. “This product really get’s the grass moving, enabling us to gradually lower the heights and increase the frequency of mowing to get us down to 8-10mm when the season starts” he adds. Supporting performance during the busiest periods is H-Cote 22-3-8, which forms part of a wider site programme which includes selective weed controls, Enclean hard surface biocide and Tri-Cure granular.

For Matthew and the team, having one trusted supplier simplifies operations and provides confidence throughout the year. “It’s now at the point where this programme is tried and tested, but it’s great to have Mark on hand with help, advice and guidance when needed.” He concludes, “It’s thanks to this partnership that our grass courts are as good as they are.”
