Boss Off-Road-Vehicles has appointed Devon tractor and machinery dealer Blakewell Services as the latest Aodes dealer.

Blakewell Services is a family-run business founded by Richard Tanton, who has been in the agricultural trade since 1971. He built the business from selling and servicing tractors at home, expanding to a workshop until he outgrew the premises, and moving to Mill Road Trading Estate in Barnstable, where he continues to grow the family business. Blakewell Services has diversified over the years into horticultural, groundscare and garden machinery through purchasing other businesses and consolidating the company’s sites. 

BOSS's national sales manager, Neil Everett, said, “We’re very pleased to welcome Richard and his family as our Aodes dealer for Devon. We know they run a great business with friendly faces and reliable service and machinery."

Blakewell has also opened a farm and country stores to supply the local community with their needs for rural living. They say the new ATVs make the ideal complement to their diverse range of machinery and services.
