From the first employee to General Manager

After the founding our subsidiary AMAZONE Ltd. in the UK in 1983, Simon Brown was our first employee.  He started his career as a field service technician and travelled extensively in Germany in this position. He later looked after spare parts and field service for the whole of the UK, eventually becoming Brand Manager and finally Managing Director of AMAZONE Ltd in December 2018. With great commitment and passion, he quickly helped AMAZONE to become very well known. 

He was actively supported by his wife, Caroline during his more than 40 years of service. She was involved in numerous exhibitions throughout the country, looking after, among other things, our customers on the stand. We would like to take this opportunity to thank her once again. 

Over the years, Simon Brown has unselfishly, and with great commitment, dedicated himself to AMAZONEN-WERKE's interests and has thus made a significant contribution to the company's major success in the UK. We are very grateful to Simon, and, with all our hearts, we wish him all the best for this new chapter in his life.

To bid him farewell, we travelled to the UK with a strong line-up, including Senior Partner Klaus and Managing Director Christian Dreyer, to host a big farewell party for Simon at our Orchard Farm subsidiary together with around 100 of his most important customers. In a speech to the assembled company, Christian Dreyer and Simon's successor, Matt Smith, thanked Simon for his outstanding work. This day will be remembered fondly by everyone involved. 

"It will be strange, not having Simon in the company, after so many years.
