Sending email...T.Vallance and Son
Trading and operating from Liverton in South Devon since 1960, T. Vallance and Son is a family firm through and through.
Having started as a small farming business, Sam Vallance, his wife Jacqui, daughter Judi and son Ryan have ensured the company has grown and diversified into new ventures. The business, which was formed by Sam’s Grandfather and Father, currently provides agricultural, plant, haulage and waste/recycling services and has recently become a franchisee for Valtra tractors.
So successful has the firm become, it now employs nearly 30 members of staff including operators, drivers, office staff and fitters who maintain the plant and equipment. Alongside its existing base next to the A38, near Newton Abbot where it recently launched a new parts store, T.Vallance is about to embark on opening a brand new depot in Wellington, Somerset. This will mean the company can grow the workforce even further with a new sales representative and mechanic.
Sam says they are justifiably proud of their achievements and expansion: “We’ve got a great team working with us; they work hard and offer a service that is second to none. We supply reliable tractors and machinery with an emphasis on value for money. It’s about trust and many of our customers have been with us for years…in the same way we’ve been customers of Cornish Mutual for decades.”
Cornish Mutual provides all insurance products for T.Vallance from farm, business, vehicle and livestock through to special events cover. Around 45 fleet vehicles are insured along with buildings including workshops, offices and the family home.
Judi explains: “Whilst our business is growing, as is Cornish Mutual, they never lose their friendly service. Our Insurance Inspector comes to visit us whenever we need him; he’s always so helpful and provides a solution for all our needs. I think Cornish Mutual is a good family-facing company – there’s the personal one-to-one contact which is so important. John, our Insurance Inspector, is a familiar face and because we’re changing the business, doing different things all the time, it’s good to call John and be able to ask him questions to make sure everything is covered, whether the insurance needs changing or policies need adding to.”
T.Vallance has been insured with Cornish Mutual for over twenty years and Inspector John Amery has been looking after the firm’s needs for just as long.
John adds: “They’ve been my customers from the outset and my Uncle was looking after Sam’s family previously, so not only do we have a great working relationship and understanding of their needs, but there’s a personal relationship there too. We’re helping with advice and support around the new parts of the business, so it’s exciting times ahead for T.Vallance and Son.”
Judi says: “We’ve never looked anywhere else – we’re happy, peace of mind is more important to us than saving a bit of money here or there. I recently organised a charity ball and John even helped me to get special events insurance for this…so I just know Cornish Mutual provides all our needs.”
