Ancroft Tractors to be acquired by Hamilton Ross Group

The proposed acquisition supports Hamilton Ross Group’s long-term strategy of strengthening its regional dealer network and enhancing customer support capability.  

The addition of Ancroft would expand the Group’s presence across the Borders, Lothian, and Northumberland, while further reinforcing its representation of the Fendt brand in these regions, the business explained. 

On completion, Ancroft Tractors will operate as part of Hamilton Ross Group, with its three locations becoming additional depots within the Hamilton Ross Group’s wider network. 

The company confirmed that Ancroft’s established local presence will be maintained. Customers will continue to be supported by the same experienced teams, backed by the wider parts, technical and operational resources of Hamilton Ross Group. 

‘Excellent reputation of Ancroft Tractors’

Fendt said that with ongoing changes in the wider agricultural industry, this move ensures its customers will continue to have a strong and stable dealer network they can rely upon in the future. 

Martin Hamer of Fendt added: “As a premium brand, Fendt customers expect our dealers to be futureproof and offer support for the long term. 

“This expansion helps to build on the excellent reputation Ancroft Tractors has built in the area over many years. Customers have the reassurance of knowing that the Hamilton Ross Group is an established Fendt dealer that knows and understands the Fendt product range as well as their customers’ needs.   

“We look forward to working with the Hamilton Ross Group and Ancroft Tractors during this change and into the future.”
