John Deere has announced the retirement of Howard Storey manager, market development for John Deere Golf after 35 years of service with John Deere and 45 years in the industry. Manny Gan director, Global Golf and Sports Turf said: “I Would like to take this opportunity to thank Howard for his loyalty and dedication to the company and for the contributions he has made over his many years of service. We wish him and his family all the best in the future.”
Storey added: “It’s time to lift up the cutting units and return the machine to the shed. It has been a 35 year and 9 months rollercoaster ride with some amazing highs and luckily for me very few lows. I have had the pleasure of working with and doing business with some fantastic people from around the world.
“I look back to the early days of joining the company as the Agricultural Demonstrator/Instructor for the UK and Ireland demonstrating some of the biggest toys you could buy, to living and working in Ireland and Germany. I then became part of the golf group from its earliest beginnings, to Deere growing to become a major player in that business segment. I have been fortunate to travel the globe more than once or twice and gain life experiences I will always treasure.”
