A life dedicated to farming and family
Matt Smith: Our new man in Great Britain
Simon Brown hands over to Matt Smith, who had his first experience of AMAZONE as a student when he worked at Wilfred Scruton Ltd, a long-standing AMAZONE dealer, during his holidays.
32-year-old Matt Smith is following in the footsteps of Simon Brown. Like his predecessor, Matt studied at Harper Adams University in Newport. He successfully completed his studies with a Bachelor of Agricultural Engineering and started a full-time internship at "Househam Sprayers Ltd.", a British manufacturer of self-propelled sprayers, as part of his studies. After completing his studies, he was hired there as a Regional Sales Manager. He later moved to HORSCH, a German manufacturer, where he was Regional Sales Manager for plant protection in the south of the UK. He then came to AMAZONE Ltd. in 2021 as National Sales Manager and has taken over the additional position of Managing Director upon Simon’s retirement in June. "I wish Matt continued enjoyment of the agricultural machinery industry and to have pleasant customers," said Klaus Dreyer at the get-together on June 3rd.
Matt Smith is married and lives in Stamford, Lincolnshire, with his wife, Katie and three-year-old son, Isaac.
