New Bauer dealers for
Cumbria & SW Scotland
» » MACHINERY AND DAIRY EQUIPMENT
dealers in Cumbria and south west Scotland
have been appointed to provide local
service and parts support to farmers and
contractors using Bauer slurry pumps,
separators and related equipment.
Electrical and dairy engineers, Colin
Dawson Ltd are now supplying Bauer parts
and slurry equipment from their Langwathby
base near Penrith, as are James Gordon Ltd
through their six branches covering Ayrshire
and Dumfries & Galloway.
Adrian Tindall, Bauer UK & Ireland sales
manager, says: “Accessible service and
parts support for slurry storage and handling
equipment is essential for dairy and other
livestock farms, and especially for those
located within Nitrate Vulnerable Zones.
“The appointment of Gordon’s and Colin
Dawson means that equipment already in use
will continue to be supported, and farmers
and contractors can invest in new Bauer and
FAN slurry equipment knowing local parts
and service support is available.”
At James Gordon, group sales manager
Kevin Fraser points out that the company
has prior experience of servicing Bauer
separators and pumps, and he welcomes
the opportunity to be now also supplying
these and other products from the range.
“It’s a well-known name for slurry
equipment with a justified reputation for
high quality,” he says. “We’re holding a
comprehensive stock of parts, such as
separator screens and augers, pump
components and the original hose coupling
invented by Bauer, to ensure we can supply
whatever our customers need as quickly as
possible.”
Colin Dawson Ltd specialises in
electrical engineering and dairy equipment
installation, with agencies for Dairymaster
milking systems and Serap milk cooling
equipment.
Managing director Colin Dawson and
the company’s service technicians – son
Andrew and Dean Hunter – are fully-
qualified electrical engineers. For the
company’s new role supporting Bauer
customers, the service team has attended
product and technical training sessions at
Bauer’s headquarters factory in Austria.
On-site training and a number of service
projects have also been undertaken, including
refurbishment of Bauer’s high-performance
Green Bedding screw separators.
Andrew Dawson said: “We are currently
building up a stock of wearing and service
parts for Bauer pumps, separators and other
equipment, and will continue to expand our
stock as the business develops to ensure
we provide a quick and efficient service to
our customers.”
