Major expansion for parts specialist Sudbury-based Pan Anglia has undertaken a major investment programme as a significant expansion in its operational capability. Pan Anglia has invested in a new 2.5-acre distribution centre in Skellingthorpe, Lincoln, as well as strengthening its board of directors and sales teams. The move underpins Pan Anglia’s strategy for growth, whilst continuing the long-held strategy of exceptional service, value and expertise to all customers. While the company head office will remain at Sudbury, the new premises will become the regional distribution centre for replacement parts in the north. It is expected to be fully operational by spring 2020. The board of directors has been strengthened with the addition of Paul Bray (sales and marketing director), Nigel Whelan (business development director), and David Fox (non-exec director). “Together the new directors bring over 90 years of agricultural experience, enhancing our existing team of highly knowledgeable parts specialists,” MD Richard Benning explains. Further investment in people has seen David Donaldson, Jason Smith and Bodie Hunter join the sales team as regional managers, while Alex Wight, Mark Keats, Paul Glew, Lee Head and Gary Rawlings were also appointed in field sales. An experienced sales support team will comprise Dan Kearton, John Edwards and Lee Matthews. Liz Powell has also joined as product and marketing coordinator and Alex Kemp re-joins as operations and logistics manager. Chairman James Dilley says: “Plans and further investment in stock are already underway to increase and enhance the range with further diversification into additional parts and consumables, in order to offer customers the greatest choice, whilst maintaining our stand-out specialisms in root crop with specialist Richard Fell, and in the PTO sector with specialist Russell Farmer.
