Ballarat, Victoria – The Brandt Group of Companies is pleased to announce that, effective June 30th, it has successfully acquired the assets of Wickham Flower & Co Pty Ltd., expanding its operations in South Australia by an additional four locations. With this acquisition, Brandt now owns and operates 23 John Deere dealerships across Australia and New Zealand.

“This is an important step for Brandt. We’re working hard to deliver better-than-ever value for Australian farmers and adding the award-winning team at Wickham Flower will help us to make that happen,” says Brandt CEO, Shaun Semple. “The integration of our operations is well underway, and farmers can anticipate seeing increased inventory levels for all product lines as well as improved parts availability in the coming months.”
