Supporting our customers and our rural communities has always been a hallmark of Hutcheon & Pearce and that focus continues with our expansion into northern NSW.

The recent acquisition of the Peel Valley Group’s Tamworth, Gunnedah, Narrabri, Quirindi and Wee Waa dealerships and in late 2023 the whole acquisition of LandHQ (Nowra, Bowral, Queanbeyan and Penrith) means the H&P difference will now stretch well into the north and east of the state and in this case, size really does matter.

But as CEO Arron Hutcheon explains, the acquisition is not about getting bigger for the sake of it.

“For us, it’s about scaling so we can better invest in our people, premises and processes to continue to not only add genuine value to our customer’s operations but exceed their expectations with our truly industry leading solutions.

“The acquisition of these five dealerships will allow us to sustainably manage the peaks and troughs inherent in agriculture. It’s an investment in our business and in supporting our customers now and into the future with the best machinery, the best technology, and the best team. With increased buying power, we have better chances of working around those supply chain issues that have hit the industry recently and by sharing all our resources, including expertise, everybody benefits from having a larger team.

For Arron, continuing the legacy of another family business has also been part of the decision.

“This is also an exciting opportunity for Hutcheon & Pearce to build on the strong traditions put in place by another Australian multi-generational family-owned business.
“Great relationships don’t happen overnight, and we’ve had a long association with the Johns family. We are both Australian multi-generational, family-owned businesses who are really proud to serve their customers and communities, and Australian ag. We’ve always supported each other, and this new chapter has been a long time in the making.
“We fully intend to continue the family approach to business and our new customers can have confidence that we will bring our 69 years of experience in the industry to the already outstanding local sales, parts and service teams.”

Arron said the similar agricultural commodities and the existing expertise in these businesses made the decision to expand north a perfect fit for H&P.

“We’ve gotten to know a bit about the operation in the Peel and Namoi valleys and we saw the similarities between the businesses. Also, having a long history in the small grains, hay, cotton and livestock segments throughout NSW and Northern Victoria and a growing interest in cotton, Hutcheon & Pearce really is in a prime position to ensure a smooth transition for customers and staff.

“Now with 18 locations, our new and existing customers have access to more resources, support and expertise than ever before and I look forward to meeting customers to hear how we can best support their needs now and into the future.”
