John Deere UK has appointed Antony Scott as new Managing Director to direct sales and marketing and dealer development in the UK.

Taking over from Richard Johnson, who has joined Deere & Company global to become marketing director, Mr Scott has climbed the ranks as territory manager, division credit manager and dealer development manager since starting at the company in 1975.

Deere's Stefan von Stegmann commented saying: “Antony’s deep knowledge of the UK and  Irish dealers, together with his regional experience and responsibility, will be valuable assets as he leads John Deere’s business in these important markets.”
