Henton and Chattell is delighted to confirm that it will officially take over the Newark branch from Farmstar Ltd on 25th July 2025. This acquisition marks the next stage in Henton and Chattell’s ambitious growth strategy and further strengthens its presence in the agricultural, groundcare and garden machinery sectors across the East Midlands.
Following the Heads of Terms announced earlier this year, the Newark depot will be fully integrated into Henton and Chattell’s operations from this week. All existing staff will be retained, and customers can expect a smooth, professional transition with minimal disruption to service.
Peter Chaloner, Managing Director of Henton and Chattell, commented: "We are incredibly pleased to officially welcome the Newark team and customers into the Henton and Chattell family. This is a significant milestone for our business, and the Newark site provides us with a strong platform to further expand our reach and deliver an even broader range of products and services in the region. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Sam Davies, Managing Director of Farmstar Ltd, whose constructive and collaborative approach has helped ensure a smooth and positive transition for all parties involved."
The Newark branch will now offer access to Henton and Chattell’s extensive portfolio, including leading brands such as Kubota, Baroness, Trimax, EGO, Cobra, Stihl and Yamaha, while continuing the high levels of service that customers have come to expect. With further leading brands set to join the line-up soon, the company’s investment in the site will support long-term growth, product availability and expert support for agricultural and groundcare customers across Nottinghamshire and beyond.
