Farmer's Weekly 21 July

Babcock has partnered with BULL to become the exclusive supplier of BULL tractor-loader-backhoes and skid-steer loaders in Southern Africa.

BULL tractor-loader-backhoes (TLBs) and skid-steer loaders will now be readily available throughout Southern Africa, thanks to a recently announced Babcock and BULL partnership. These products will complement Babcock's existing construction equipment portfolio.

BULL is a leading international construction equipment brand based in India. It has a well-established global footprint and two state-of-the-art manufacturing plants.

David Vaughan, managing director of Babcock's equipment business, says that Babcock has sold and maintained various brands of TLBs in Southern Africa for more than 20 years.

"Our after-sales service and approachability set us apart from our competitors. Our door is always open, and BULL's customer-centric, solution-driven ethos makes [us] an ideal fit," says Vaughan.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Babcock will provide technical support to all new and existing BULL customers in Southern Africa, with product manager Mark Senyard at the helm.
