Ollie Bensted-Smith

Managing Director

As the new owner of Thames Valley Machinery, I am proud to continue the strong reputation the business has built since its founding in 2002. For over two decades, Thames Valley Machinery has provided farmers and agricultural businesses with a straightforward, cost-effective, and trusted way to buy and sell quality used machinery.

After studying Agriculture and Business Management at the University of Reading, I spent several years working on farms before moving into the machinery trade. I then worked for a leading agricultural machinery dealer for over seven years, specialising in the valuation, purchase, and sale of used equipment. During this time, I built a strong network of customers and contacts across the UK and beyond, gaining valuable insight into the machinery market and the needs of modern farming businesses.

Taking ownership of Thames Valley Machinery was a natural next step, combining my practical farming background with my experience in machinery sales and valuation.

My focus is simple: to maintain the trusted relationships that our customers value while continuing to develop and improve the service we provide. We understand the importance of reliable machinery, honest advice, accurate valuations, and efficient transactions, and we are committed to delivering all four.

Whether you are looking to buy, sell, or simply discuss your machinery requirements, I look forward to working with you and helping your business find the right solution.
