About Us
Southam agricultural services first came together as John and David decided to go into business together back in 1971 after finishing college, starting out in a small farm building on the Taylor farm in Southam.
The business developed and expanded in the late 70s early 80s, building on the site they now occupy. John and David both worked hard to develop early ties with Dowdeswell, Fendt, Kuhn and Accord. The business became popular with all the local farming world and took off.
This saw the company into to the 2000s, where the business developed into relationships with Stiga, Mountfield Kawasaki and Stihl entering. The horticultural market added to the company’s portfolio and strengthened its range.
John and David both work full time at the company and oversee the day to day running whilst the team of mechanics and parts specialists work to aid the farming industry through the day-to-day consumables and problems the farming and horticultural world faces.
