The company will represent the brand north of the central belt in Scotland, covering Banff-shire, Moray, Nairn-shire, the west of Aberdeen-shire, Ross-shire, and Inverness-shire. 

With a strong reputation for quality, service and expertise, Alistair Young Engineering Ltd is a family-owned business that aligns perfectly with Merlo’s own family values. As long-standing Valtra dealers since 1994, they also represent several leading agricultural franchises, including Hi-Spec Engineering, Krone, McHale, Richard Western, JPM Trailers, KRM, Bomford Turner, and Quicke. Their deep-rooted experience in the agricultural sector ensures that Merlo customers in the region will receive exceptional support, service, and expertise. 

Shaun Groom, General Manager at Merlo UK, commented: 
“We are delighted to welcome Alistair Young Engineering Ltd back to the Merlo dealer network. Their extensive experience, commitment to customer service, and strong presence in the region make them an excellent fit for representing Merlo. This partnership further strengthens our support for customers across northern Scotland.” 

Ashleigh Young, Joint Managing Director of Alistair Young Engineering Ltd, added: 
“We are excited to introduce Merlo’s innovative telehandlers to our product offering. A high-quality telehandler for performance and reliability makes them the perfect addition to our existing franchises.  

Neil Murdoch, Joint Managing Director of Alistair Young Engineering Ltd, added: 

Our goal has always been to provide the best solutions for our customers, and this partnership allows us to expand our offering with a trusted, premium brand.” 

Founded in 1981 by Alistair Young Senior, the business has grown steadily over the years. Now managed by three joint Managing Directors – Steven Young, Ashleigh Young, and Neil Murdoch – the company has expanded its staff facilities and customer base while maintaining its core focus on providing high quality service. 

With this new partnership, farmers, businesses and existing Merlo customers across northern Scotland will have access to Merlo’s market-leading telehandlers and parts, backed by the expertise, service and support of Alistair Young Engineering Ltd.
