Under the leadership of Managing Director Robert Oar, whose extensive experience spans 45 years in agricultural and engineering sectors, Rural Quip has adeptly navigated shifts in market demands. Recognising the necessity to adapt, the company has expanded its offerings beyond fabrication to encompass retail, steel sales, and industrial supplies.
