CHRIS Buckle has expanded his sales role at grounds machinery makers Ransomes Jacobsen with additional responsibilities in South Wales.

Mr Buckle, who joined the E-Z-GO golf car and utility vehicle sales team at the firm, which has a large manufacturing plant based in Ipswich, back in the autumn of 2007, reports to Rupert Price, UK and Ireland sales manager.

He will now be responsible for turf maintenance equipment and Iseki tractor sales together with territory development for David Evans Agricultural Ltd (D.E.A.L.), Ransomes Jacobsen's dealer in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Mr Price said: “Chris has a wealth of experience in the golf sector and his sales and technical knowledge are excellent. He has done a superb job over the past 18 months introducing our new RXV golf car in the south of England, where we have made huge inroads against our competitors. We wish him well in this new role.”

Chris lives in Christchurch with his wife, Katherine and their two children, Chloe and Oliver and enjoys golf in his spare time.
