P Tuckwell Ltd, the John Deere dealer across the South East and East of England, has recently completed the acquisition of Tomlinson Groundcare Ltd, marking a significant development in the turf care industry.

The acquisition, which was agreed upon by James Tuckwell and the Tomlinson family, ensures that all employees and the existing branch location at Buxhall, near Stowmarket, will be retained. This move has received full support and approval from John Deere Ltd, further solidifying the partnership.

The addition of Tomlinson Groundcare will further enhance their presence in the market.

James Tuckwell expressed his excitement about the acquisition, stating, “We are excited to be given this opportunity to expand our business and to build on their success.
