CT Scott specialises in the sales and service of application technology and precision farming equipment to growers in Scotland.
Now it has expanded into retail by opening a Powered By Kramp retail store at its Insch depot in Aberdeenshire.
The company is holding an open day on this September 28, which offers customers the opportunity to look around the store and meet the team.
It will also have representatives from its machinery suppliers: Bateman, Agrifac, Landquip, Ag Leader, and Spread Point.
Craig Scott, managing director of CT Scott, says the decision to open a retail store was linked to plans to take the next step in the growth of its machinery business. “We had outgrown our office, needed a bigger workshop, and wanted to recruit someone to manage our parts department,” says Craig.
“The decision was made to build a completely new building alongside our workshop (at the Insch depot), giving us a separate parts department, retail shop and new office space.
“We looked at several shop suppliers. We went with Kramp because they are professional at it, have a team dedicated to doing retail shops, research what sells and have a team to do the installation.
“Nobody else could offer the variation or the team behind it,” explains Craig.
Kramp retail consultant Gary Cartwright worked with CT Scott to set up the store and was impressed with the site.
“Everything is done to a high specification, and the store looks incredible,” Gary points out.
The store opened on August 8 and Craig has been delighted with the initial feedback from his customers. They have said there is nothing like this in the area, and the local community will welcome it.
