Barmby Moor firm lands Ifor Williams Trailers distribution deal
​The founder of a family-run firm at Barmby Moor says the dedication of the staff was crucial in clinching a deal with Europe’s biggest trailer maker.
According to Matt Scott, the managing director of AEG York Ltd, his team had gone “above and beyond” to secure the agreement to become a distributor for Ifor Williams Trailers (IWT).
He hopes the move will help create new jobs and fuel growth at the company.
Matt established AEG York Ltd in 2007 and now employs 23 people.
He was delighted his company had teamed up with a world renowned firm like Ifor Williams Trailers.
“We went through quite a rigorous process to get here,” he said.
"We had to explain who we were, basically prove that we were the best option for them.
“We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with them
“I think there will definitely be an opportunity for us to either offer, within the current staff, good career progression, which we are always keen to try to do, or open the opportunity of increased local employment.”
IWT has global reach with its market-leading products – made in its six factories in Denbighshire and Flintshire, in North Wales.
They are sold in outlets across Europe and as far afield as Australia and New Zealand.
Ifor Williams Trailers Head of Manufacturing Richard Bull said he was delighted that they have signed up AEG York Ltd as a distributor.
He said: “AEG York are an excellent fit for us because they too are a family firm and have a similar ethos that’s based on high quality products and providing excellent customer service.
“We’re looking forward to working in partnership with Matt and his first class team and we are confident our current and future customers will be very well served."
Matt added: “The site where AEG is, that is my family’s old farm which my parents ran until they retired.
“Because I took a different route away from animals, away from farming, we’ve sort of taken over just about the whole of the premises now.”
The Ifor William trailers will be sold from the firm’s site at Mohair Farm.
Matt said: “We are creating a show area in part of one of the fields adjacent to the yard. We have created a showroom area as well which has all the stock and the parts available for people to see.
“The vision there is to create a bespoke experience for people coming in where there is an actual showroom for people to sit and talk and look through the brochures."
