A company spokesman said: “With more than 15 years of experience gained in sales and marketing within the SDF Group, Mr. Barnwell has the appropriate credentials to take the company forward in the UK and Ireland and to face the numerous opportunities and challenges that exist – within the combine harvester and small, medium and large-horsepower tractor market sectors.”
