Knight Farm Machinery appoints Chandlers for farmers in the Midlands and Welsh Borders

From April 20, Chandlers will supply and support Knight's full sprayer range across 17 of its depots across the Midlands and the Welsh Borders, with its Holbeach, Horncastle, Spilsby and RFM depots excluded.

Chandlers will supply Knight's full range of mounted, trailed and self-propelled sprayers, as well as demount systems. The agreement also includes the newly launched AGROMA line-up, which aims to offer additional options for smaller-scale, specialist and horticultural applications.

The Cirencester branch will take responsibility for Knight demount sprayers for JCB Fastrac customers across Chandlers JCB territory, which covers Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Shropshire, Herefordshire and Monmouthshire.

Knight says the move reflects its commitment to strengthening UK market coverage through established dealer partners. Chandlers, which already has experience in sprayer sales and support, sees the agreement as filling a gap in its machinery offering, allowing it to cater for a wider range of farm sizes and types.
