Luke Gardiner has been appointed as Irish parts manager for Argo Tractors Ireland, working with the Landini and McCormick brands.
A native of Eyrecourt in Co. Galway, and skilled in business relations, sales management, e-commerce, marketing and logistics, Luke moved to France aged 13 when his parents purchased a farm in the Limousin region. A graduate of the Montluçon-Larequille School of Agriculture where he obtained the French equivalent of the Green Certificate, Luke returned to Ireland in 2017 to work as French sales rep for Quality Tractor Parts.
In recent years, Luke has worked for Ned Murphy Tractors/Massey Salvage – a busy Massey Ferguson parts business in Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford. While there, Luke created and launched its parts website in addition to increasing the company’s level of domestic and international sales. Last July, Argo Tractors Ireland Ltd was launched at the FTMTA Farm Machinery Show held at Punchestown Racecourse, underlining its commitment to promoting the Landini and McCormick brands throughout the island.
