Ringlink and Inverness-based Highland Business Services (HBS) have merged. The move strengthens the position of the two machinery rings.
With a combined membership of over 4,000 and annual turnover in excess of £100 million, the new enterprise, which retains the Ringlink Scotland name, serves farmers and crofters in an area from North-East and Central Scotland to the Highlands and Islands, including Sutherland, Skye and Argyll.
Overall management is the responsibility of Ringlink’s managing director, Graham Bruce, with the present HBS team continuing to run operations in HBS’s existing trading area on a day-to-day basis from their present office at Glaikmore, Tore. All current Ringlink offices, including Laurencekirk, Cupar, Coupar Angus, Oldmeldrum and Elgin remain open and operational.
“This is a merger for growth,” said Mr Bruce. “Together, we’ll expand our labour pools, support more rural jobs, and help equip Scotland’s agricultural industry with the skills it needs for the future.”
