Merlo UK is delighted to announce the appointment of Vincents as an authorised dealer within the Merlo agricultural network, effective 1st June 2025. Operating from two of their strategically located depots in Fraddon (Cornwall) and Smithaleigh (South Devon) the company will represent the Merlo range across South Devon and Cornwall, further strengthening Merlo’s presence in the South West.
A family-run business with a reputation for excellence, Vincents has grown significantly under the direction of Nick and Alec Vincent, offering a comprehensive range of machinery solutions across both the agricultural, construction and ground care sectors.
“We are proud to welcome Vincents to the Merlo network,” commented Owen Buttle, National Sales Manager at Merlo UK. “Their multi-depot footprint, highly capable team, and dedication to customer service make them an ideal partner. This appointment further supports Merlo’s aim to ensure customers across the South West have access to industry-leading telehandlers and expert local support.”
With a wide-ranging product portfolio that includes Kverneland, Ktwo, Joskin, Marshall Trailers, and Nugent Trailers across agriculture – and Trimax, Grillo, Trilo, Cramer and Baroness in the groundcare sector – the addition of Merlo telehandlers is a key component in Vincents future strategy.

Nick Vincent, Dealer Principal at Vincents commented: “Merlo is a key piece of our business plan. We want to be the ‘Dealer of Choice in the South West’, and offering a premium range like Merlo – backed by our own premium service – allows us to meet the needs of a broad and growing customer base.”
Founded in 1966 and now serving the region from Fraddon as its principal place of business, Vincents continues to build on its legacy by investing in people, service, and the best equipment on the market.
This new appointment ensures that farmers, contractors, and landowners throughout Devon and Cornwall will have direct access to Merlo’s innovative range of telehandlers, supported by a trusted and locally based dealer.
Vincents will showcase a range of Merlo machines at the Royal Cornwall Show on the 5th, 6th, and 7th of June. Visitors to stand 632 will have the opportunity to see both compact and medium-sized Merlo telehandlers – models ideally suited to the needs of the local agricultural market. The Vincents team will be on hand throughout the show to introduce the range, answer questions, and discuss the full suite of sales, service, and support available to customers across the South West.
