New Northern Area Sales Manager
Kuhn Farm Machinery has appointed Karl Ridsdale to area sales manager for northern England to support its strong dealer network across the region.
Karl joins Kuhn with extensive experience in sales and support following various roles with dealers across the area. He spent 10 years with KUHN dealer Hardwick Agricultural Engineering, at Brompton-by-Sawdon, North Yorkshire, where he developed a strong KUHN product knowledge and built relationships with staff at the manufacturer’s UK base in Telford.
Karl has been involved with farming from a young age and has a strong appreciation of the hard work that goes into daily life.
“Working on farms when I was younger gives me a clear insight into what’s involved in farming. This helps me to spot areas where I can help farmers and growers improve efficiencies through using Kuhn machinery.”
Karl’s area extends south of the Scottish border and covers dealers down to the M62 on the west of the country, and as far south as Brigg and Louth in the east. He says his knowledge and passion for the product range helps to navigate the tough current conditions.
“At the moment we are working hard to secure each sale and explaining the individual details of how a machine can help a farmer could be the difference between getting the sale or not. This gives me motivation to grow the role and show that I’m not afraid of hard work and put my own mark on the area.”
Karl has already begun supporting the dealers in his territory with customer visits, product demonstrations, roadshows and open days.
