Devon based dairy dealership joins the Fullwood family
Tiverton based dairy equipment dealer, Stoneman Refrigeration, has joined forces with Britain's leading milking machine manufacturer, Fullwood, to extend the company's coverage in the south west of England.
The new dealership will supply a full range of milking and cooling equipment, as well as a professional maintenance and repair service for farmers in Devon and West Somerset.
Stoneman Refrigeration joined the Fullwood dealership network with effect from May 7th 2008 and are based at Witheridge near Tiverton in north Devon. The family owned dealership is run by Frank and Suzanne Stoneman, along with their son Mark and employs a team of installation engineers for parlour and refrigeration sales, service and all important breakdown service.
Commenting on the development, Frank Stoneman confirmed that the partnership with Fullwood will provide local dairy farmers with the necessary equipment and services that are needed to keep pace with the rigorous demands of modern milk production.
"Modern dairy farming faces a number of issues ranging from severe labour shortages to intense pressure on profit margins. In order to stay in business, many dairy farmers are facing increasing pressure to expand their herds and produce more milk as efficiently and hygienically as possible. The farm's milking equipment and refrigerated bulk storage facilities play a vital role in producing milk of the very highest standard. However, as equipment becomes more technically advanced, the need for regular maintenance by an experienced engineer also becomes increasingly important.
"Through our close partnership with the UK's leading milking machine manufacturers, we will be able to provide farmers with the very latest milking and cooling equipment, from simple parlour updates to fully-automated robotic milking systems. What's more, our team of engineers will be on hand to deal efficiently and promptly with any of our clients' specific requirements."
David O'Hare, Sales & Marketing Director of Fullwood Ltd, commented, "Fullwood is delighted to welcome Stoneman Refrigeration to its dealership network, and looks forward to a long and successful partnership. The dairy industry requires everyone involved to operate in a professional and efficient manner in order to minimise costs and maintain high levels of production efficiency. We are confident that Stoneman Refrigeration will deliver a superb level of service and assistance to our customers in Devon and West Somerset."
