Welcome to Alan Snow Agricultural Engineers Ltd
Alan, who started his business from the back of a van in 1982, is today the distributor for leading tractor brands Fendt (Devon and Cornwall), Massey Ferguson (Cornwall and West Devon) and Valtra (Cornwall and West & South Devon). The company operates from premises in Holsworthy, Launceston and Truro and employs over 40 staff.
Alan has been involved with agricultural machinery all his life. Coming from a farming family, at an early age he decided milking cows wasn’t for him. His real passion was tractors and, after leaving school, he took on an apprenticeship with agricultural engineers Fulford Trumps. At the age of 25, he elected to go it alone and set up a small repair business from home in Thornbury. He quickly built up a reputation with farmers in the area and, as a result of customer recommendation, just three years later was appointed service agent for Fendt tractors.
In 1989, he moved with his family to a new home in Sutcombe near Holsworthy which had enough land to build a workshop. He was awarded the full Fendt distribution franchise in 1992 and the business grew steadily over the next 14 years. Since then with relentless effort and dedication Alan, Di & the team have moved onwards and upwards and have become one of the most knowledgeable, respected and longest serving Fendt dealers in the UK.
Early in 2006 a new and exciting opportunity arose to expand Alan & Di Snow’s business. Local man Wayne Rundle joined them as a business partner to create Alan Snow (Launceston) Ltd which coincided with being awarded the Massey Ferguson franchise for Cornwall and West Devon. In October 2006 the second branch at Tregaller Works near Launceston opened for business.
Into 2017 Alan Snow agricultural engineers will be celebrating 25 years as an authorised FENDT dealer, making us one of the longest serving Fendt dealerships in the UK.
So Alan Snow Agricultural Engineers which started from the back of Alan’s van back in 1982, are today main dealers for the following leading machinery brands: Fendt, Massey Ferguson, Valtra, Merlo, Kuhn, Stewart trailers, Pichon tankers & muckspreaders & BVL diet feeders.
