HAYNES AGRICULTURAL TO RELOCATE OPERATION

Haynes Agricultural is expanding its agricultural machinery network in the South East with the transfer of the property, assets and trade of Ernest Doe Power’s Case IH agricultural business at Ringmer, East Sussex, to Haynes Brothers Ltd, the holding company of Haynes Agricultural.

As part of the move, Haynes Agricultural will relocate its existing Uckfield agricultural operation to the more modern Ringmer facility on 6 November 2026.

The company says the move will bring together the expertise and resources of the two operations, creating a stronger base to support agricultural customers across East and West Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight and Kent.

The development is part of Haynes Agricultural’s wider strategy with CNH to create a stronger and more integrated CNH dealer network across the South East. Alongside the recently dual-branded Great Chart depot, and planned dual branding at its Wrotham Heath and Horsham sites, the network will give customers access to both CNH brands - New Holland and Case IH - alongside JCB, supported by Haynes’ established sales, parts and service teams.

Haynes has expanded its agricultural operations in recent years, including the integration of Ernest Doe Power’s agricultural business at Woodchurch, Ashford, and the acquisition of the Mike Garwood Ltd agricultural businesses in Alton and on the Isle of Wight.

James Broadley, managing director of Haynes Agricultural Ltd., said, “The acquisition of the Ringmer business will be the final part of the jigsaw in creating the business we have been working towards for several years. It completes our dual-branded CNH strategy and gives us a strong, sustainable platform for the future. The agricultural industry continues to evolve rapidly, and this investment ensures we are well placed to continue adapting, investing and supporting our customers for many years to come.”

Adrian Woods, director of agricultural operations at Haynes Agricultural Ltd., added, “This is an exciting development for our agricultural team and, most importantly, for our customers in East Sussex.

"The Ringmer facility will give us an excellent opportunity to bring together experienced people, resources and product expertise in one location. Customers will benefit from access to both New Holland and Case IH agricultural machinery, as well as JCB, supported by our established parts and service teams.

"While the Uckfield site will close as part of the move, our commitment to our customers in the area remains exactly the same. We will continue to provide the high standards of service, parts and technical support that customers have come to expect from Haynes Agricultural. In addition, we look forward to working with the existing team at Ringmer to help build on their success and also, most importantly, to welcoming customers to Ringmer and to further strengthening the relationships we have both developed in the area.”

Further information about the Ringmer facility, including contact details and the relocation arrangements, will be communicated to customers ahead of the move.
