HENTON & CHATTELL CONFIRM OFFICIAL ACQUISITION

Henton and Chattell has confirmed that it officially takes over the Newark branch from Farmstar Ltd today, 25th July 2025.

They say the acquisition marks the next stage in their ambitious growth strategy and strengthens their presence in the agricultural, groundcare, and garden machinery sectors across the East Midlands.

The deal follows the signing of Heads of Terms announced earlier this year and will see the Newark depot fully integrated into Henton and Chattell’s operations from this week. All existing staff will be retained, and Hentons say customers can expect a professional transition with minimal disruption to service.

Peter Chaloner, managing director of Henton and Chattell, said, "We are incredibly pleased to officially welcome the Newark team and customers into the Henton and Chattell family. This is a significant milestone for our business, and the Newark site provides us with a strong platform to further expand our reach and deliver an even broader range of products and services in the region. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Sam Davies, Managing Director of Farmstar Ltd, whose constructive and collaborative approach has helped ensure a smooth and positive transition for all parties involved."

The Newark branch will now offer access to Henton and Chattell’s portfolio, including brands such as Kubota, Baroness, Trimax, EGO, Cobra, Stihl and Yamaha, while continuing the high levels of service that customers have come to expect.

With further brands promised to join the line-up soon, the company say their investment in the site will ensure long-term growth, product availability, and expert support for agricultural and groundcare customers across Nottinghamshire and beyond.
