IBBETTS CELEBRATES 175th ANNIVERSARY

Arthur Ibbett Ltd, the Cambridgeshire-based groundcare , agricultural and specialist machinery dealership, this week celebrated its 175th anniversary with a well-attended open day at its Great Paxton premises, which included its first display of products from its recently-signed McCormick tractor franchise.

Best known for its specialism in Mercedes-Benz Unimog all-terrain utility vehicles and implement carriers, Ibbetts had a full set Unimog models on display, plus a dedicated off-road demonstration area. Staff from ARGO Tractors were on hand to talk visitors through a line-up of McCormick tractors, while prominent groundcare suppliers supporting the event included AriensCo, with a display of products from both Ariens and ASMotor.

Staff on hand to talk visitors through the full offering from the dealership included Tim Ibbett, managing director, and Louise Danbury-Peters, Star of the Dealership winner at the 2025 Service Dealer Awards and Ibbetts’ horticultural sales manager.

A full report will appear in an upcoming issue of Service Dealer magazine.
