G & J Peck announces opening of new HQ and closure of depots
4th March 2025
Agricultural machinery dealer G & J Peck has announced an opening of a new central headquarters in Chatteris and an eventual closure of three of its depots.
Jon Wareing, managing director of Pecks, said that in response to increasing pressures in the market, the company’s team had to make “some difficult decisions to reinforce the business’ place as a leading supplier of agricultural machinery in the region”.
He added: “The company’s board has been working hard behind the scenes to conduct a thorough review of the business to determine the best way to move forward.
“We have since made the decision to move our Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire operations to a new central headquarters in Chatteris — leading to the eventual closure of our Spalding, Ramsey, and Ely sites. Our Rendlesham and Dereham depots remain unchanged.
“The wellbeing of our staff is of utmost importance to us, and we are in close discussions with those affected. This decision was not made lightly but is essential to safeguard the future of the company.”
‘Next phase of the business’
Mr Wareing added: “As we navigate this changing industry landscape, these proactive steps will ensure that Pecks remains at the forefront of agricultural machinery supply, strengthening our operations and enhancing service to our valued customers.”
The company has confirmed that all of its outstanding orders will be fulfilled, and Pecks will continue to offer our customers the first-class service and parts backup throughout this transition and beyond.
John Smith, managing director of JCB Agriculture, said: “G & J Peck provides industry-leading sales and aftersales support to our customers in the region, which this consolidation will reinforce.
“We have a long-standing, successful relationship spanning more than 40 years of selling JCB Agriculture equipment.
“We look forward to the opening of the new Chatteris depot and working together with G & J Peck in this next phase of their business.”
An announcement is also set to be made in due course on G & J Peck’s distribution site in Lincolnshire.
