G & J Peck Company Announcement
As spring approaches, we would like to thank our customers for their continued support during an incredibly challenging period for the agricultural industry.
Jon Wareing, Managing Director of Pecks, said:
“In response to increasing pressures in the market, we have had to make some difficult decisions to reinforce the company’s place as a leading supplier of agricultural machinery in the region.
The company’s board has been working hard behind the scenes to conduct a thorough review of the business to determine the best way to move forward.
We have since made the decision to move our Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire operations to a new central headquarters in Chatteris – leading to the eventual closure of our Spalding, Ramsey and Ely sites. Our Rendlesham and Dereham depots remain unchanged.
The wellbeing of our staff is of utmost importance to us and we are in close discussions with those affected. This decision was not made lightly but is essential to safeguard the future of the company.
As we navigate this changing industry landscape, these proactive steps will ensure that Pecks remains at the forefront of agricultural machinery supply, strengthening our operations and enhancing service to our valued customers. All outstanding orders will be fulfilled, and Pecks will continue to offer our customers the first-class service and parts back up we are known for throughout this transition and beyond.”
John Smith, Managing Director of JCB Agriculture said:
“G & J Peck provide industry leading sales and aftersales support to our customers in the region which this consolidation will reinforce. We have a long-standing, successful relationship spanning more than 40 years of selling JCB Agriculture equipment. We look forward to the opening of the new Chatteris depot and working together with G & J Peck in this next phase of their business. An announcement will be made in due course on our distribution in Lincolnshire.”
