Hutcheon & Pearce acquires Peel Valley Group

Central and Southern NSW John Deere dealership group, Hutcheon & Pearce, has announced it is taking over Peel Valley Group’s Tamworth, Gunnedah, Narrabri, Quirindi and Wee Waa dealerships.

According to Hutcheon & Pearce CEO, Arron Hutcheon, the acquisition is an exciting opportunity for the company to expand its footprint further north.

“Our acquisition of the five Peel Valley Machinery locations provides us the opportunity to build on the strong foundations already in place built by the John family and their staff over multiple generations across the Peel and Namoi Valleys as well as the surrounding areas,” he says.

“Customers can have confidence in us to bring our 69 years of experience in the agricultural industry to contribute to the already outstanding local sales, parts and service teams supporting them today.”

Hutcheon added the similar agricultural commodity bases and existing expertise in both Australian family owned businesses made the decision to expand north the right choice.

“Having a long history in the small grains, hay, cotton and livestock segments throughout NSW and Northern Victoria means Hutcheon & Pearce is in a prime position to ensure a smooth transition for customers and staff,” he said.

“Now with 18 locations, our new and existing customers have access to more resources, support and expertise than ever before.”

Peel Valley Group Director, Steve John, says he is confident in leaving his family business in the hands of Hutcheon & Pearce.

“This brings to a conclusion our family’s more than 56-year close association with the John Deere brand, along with longstanding relationships with both Daimler and Isuzu Trucks in our Tamworth location,” he says.

“We believe Hutcheon and Pearce will provide the smoothest possible transition for our team and our customers. We are delighted to be leaving our business in the hands of Arron Hutcheon and his team, with our very best wishes for the future.”

In addition to the five new branches, Hutcheon & Pearce dealerships are located in Wagga Wagga, Albury, Lake Cargelligo, Coleambally, Temora, Forbes, Griffith, Cowra, Condobolin, Finley, Orange, Dubbo and Warren in NSW.
