Ruralquip Continues Business as Usual Under New Owners

It's been just over a month since Ruralquip welcomed new ownership, and while the transition marks an exciting milestone for the business, for customers, it’s been business as usual.

The new owners say maintaining continuity has been a top priority, with the full team of existing Ruralquip staff retained to facilitate a smooth handover.

“We're pleased to confirm that all existing Ruralquip staff, many of whom have served the local community for years, remain part of the Ruralquip family”, the owners said. “Their knowledge, dedication, and strong relationships with customers are the heart of what makes Ruralquip so valued. We're proud to support that legacy and continue building on it.”

Over the past month, the new ownership group has worked closely with the team to minimise disruption to day-to-day operations, and are thankful for the community’s ongoing support throughout the transition.

“We're incredibly grateful for the warm welcome we’ve received and sincerely thank Ruralquip's loyal customers for their patience and support.”
