Matt Wilson joins Kubota (UK) as groundcare product manager

• Matt Wilson has joined Kubota (UK)’s marketing team as its groundcare product and key account manager for the UK and Ireland

He joins Kubota with 20 years of industry knowledge, having gained dealership, distribution and manufacturing experience for a variety of groundcare businesses involved in the amenity, golf and turf sectors.

“I have always wanted to work for a top-tier manufacturer, and joining Kubota is certainly a highlight of my career to-date,” says Matt. “Ethically, Kubota’s core disciplines, family values and its honourable nature are values that are close to my heart.”

Matt’s desire for both market and product information, in addition to his own knowledge base, will be instrumental in further developing the groundcare portfolio. His new role also includes involvement with Kubota’s European groundcare product management team.

“Who wouldn’t want to work for such a well-respected brand, with market-leading equipment that thrives on its reputation for build quality and reliability,” he adds. “Not only is there a chance to grow the business with an extensive product range, including compact tractors and out-front professional mowers, but there are also opportunities for me to develop with the business.”

“There is strong demand from the industry for Kubota’s groundcare products, particularly those from the recent acquisition of the Gianni Ferrari range. It’s certainly a good time to be working for a well-respected, global manufacturer.”

Commenting on Matt’s appointment as groundcare product and key account manager for the UK and Ireland, Kubota’s agricultural and ground care sales manager Tim Yates said: “Matt’s in-depth industry knowledge gives us a strong foundation on which to continue supporting the groundcare sector with market-leading products. It’s great to have him on-board as part of the team.”
