Longstanding industry figure Andy Reedman is retiring after a 49-year career in potato machinery.
Reedman joined Peterborough-based Root Harvesters in 1965, before becoming one of four to form Key Agricultural in 1978, known for its Keyag Clodmaster destoner.
A merger with Standen Engineering in 1993 led to Reedman taking on sales manager in the new company, before a management buyout in 2001 when he became a member of the Standen board of directors.
“One of the best-known characters in the industry, Andy is famous for his passion for potatoes, his energy and enthusiasm,” a company statement said.
Standen Eastern area sales manager, Ed Gilbert, will now take on Reedman’s customers.
