Farm machinery firm saves staff following closure of rival
A Powys border farm machinery dealer has saved jobs after expanding its operating area in the north of the UK.
Mellington-based RVW Pugh Ltd is the Massey Ferguson franchise owner for Cheshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire and Mid Wales.
Following the closure of Malpas Tractors, RVW Pugh Ltd has expanded into the Lancashire area for Merlo, Sumo, Hi-Spec, Vaderstad and AVR customers.
The company has retained the employment of former Malpas Tractors staff members, who have knowledge of the area and the local market.
Robert Pugh, Managing Director of RVW Pugh Ltd said: 'We are delighted to be able to take on the Lancashire area for the Merlo, Sumo, Hi-Spec, Vaderstad and AVR brands, as well as welcoming our new team members to the company.'
RVW Pugh Ltd will have a dedicated area sales manager for the area, as well as a depot for parts sales, warranty enquires and repairs and maintenance work in Lathom.
The company will also be taking on the warranty commitments for the Merlo, Sumo, Hi-Spec and Vaderstad branded machinery.
The depot is open for AGCO parts, along with a wide range of tools, wearing parts and other merchandise for day-to-day farming jobs.
Emma Pugh, Business Manager for RVW Pugh Ltd added: 'We have a new depot for the Lancashire area and would encourage any former customers of Malpas Tractors with outstanding warranties with the Merlo, Sumo, Hi-Spec and Vaderstad brands to contact us with any queries they have.'

Amazon's No.1 best-selling laptop is now just £229 with Office 365
The Jumper S7-HI-4128 is the hottest budget laptop on Amazon right now | Jumper This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement. Amazon's most popular laptop deal just dropped under £230 – with a full year of Office 365 thrown in, this lightweight Windows machine is a steal.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... This is not a drill — Amazon's number one best-seller in traditional laptops is now just £229.99, down from £449.99. That's a massive 49% off, and stock is flying out. The Jumper S7-HI-4128 is the hottest budget laptop on the site right now, and with good reason. You can buy it now from Amazon before the deal disappears. It's a proper full-size 15.6-inch Windows 11 laptop with a clean, lightweight design and everything you need for work, school, or everyday browsing. There's also a full year of Office 365 included – so you'll get Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and more with no extra faff. This model is tailor-made for students, remote workers, or anyone after a solid backup machine. Whether you're browsing, streaming, editing documents or handling schoolwork, it's got more than enough power to keep up. And because it weighs just 3.6lbs and boasts up to 8 hours of battery, you can carry it anywhere without worry. It's also surprisingly well kitted-out: you get USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, a Type-C port, TF card slot and a 3.5mm headphone jack — all the essentials for plugging in, streaming, working or studying. And with 128GB of storage plus TF expansion, there's plenty of space to keep everything running smoothly. Reviewers are raving.

Another added: 'My daughter's old laptop no longer holds charger so she needed new laptop… She is using it now for nearly 3 weeks and had no issues… It has everything that she needs at the moment. Good size screen. Speed is an ok considering price.' It's rated 4.8 stars on Amazon with over 200 sales this month alone — so if you want it, don't hang about. Laptops this cheap with Office included are rarely this well reviewed, and almost never this well-specced. This kind of spec for this kind of price is rare, especially with Office thrown in. If you need a secondary machine or a solid option for students or hybrid working, it's well worth a look. 🔥 Free Samsung tablet? Don't miss this Sky Mobile Galaxy S25 deal (aff) Snap up the brand-new Samsung Galaxy S25 5G and Sky Mobile will throw in a Galaxy Tab A9+ worth £259 – absolutely free! This offer - which we wrote about in detail here - runs until 26 June 2025, but once it's gone, it's gone.
