Following the announcement made last March, Jonathan Newton officially begins his role as Commercial Director of Argo Tractors GB. From 1 July, he will succeed Richard Haines, who has recently taken up the position of CEO of McCormick North America.

Jonathan joins the leadership team with a wealth of experience across the agricultural industry, having held multiple roles at various management positions across Sales & Aftersales. In recent weeks, he has completed a comprehensive onboarding programme, including visits to key dealerships based in Great Britain. Richard continues retaining some of his responsibilities within Argo GB, supporting the company during the transition period and beyond.

“We are delighted to welcome Jonathan Newton”, said Franco Artoni, Director Corporate Business. He continues: “We are confident his expertise and proven track record will consolidate the growth achieved by our GB subsidiary, thanks to Richard Haines’ contribution, who has now taken on a prestigious role within our US operations. With this continuity and renewed momentum, we are confident we can further strengthen our market-leading position in Great Britain.”

“I am truly excited to be joining this important and prestigious family-owned multinational”, said Jonathan Newton, “and to lead the commercial team in building on my predecessor’s excellent work while delivering even more ambitious results for Argo Tractors.”
