Ben, who has been working for Farmhand for the past 12 months doing machinery demonstrations, will be covering Munster as well as Carlow and Wicklow. Ben studied Agri. engineering in IT Tralee and worked for a prominent silage contractor in Cork during the summer for the past 5 years before making the move to Farmhand.

“We are delighted to have Ben on board. He really impressed us during the BigM Mowing the Country Tour last year and we are confident he is going to be a strong sales contact for our dealer network” said Sales Director, Stephen Scrivener.

“I am really looking forward to this new challenge. Farmhand have some premium brands and I am looking forward to help further promote them in my new role” commented Ben.
