Company Profile
Founded in 1967 in Williams Lake BC as Lake City Central
Equipment. Started the Kamloops store in 1995 as an independent
operation. Opened the Vanderhoof location in 2000 as a satellite store to
the Williams lake operation.
Owned and operated by Brian Roberts. Brian brings
with him over a half a century of experience in the ag equipment industry.
He started out working on his uncles' farms in Agassiz as a kid in the 1950's then
went to work for Butler Bros. Supplies assembling new machinery and working
in the parts department. Before long he had become a salesman, traveling to
farms and ranches throughout the lower mainland and southern interior of BC.
In 1967 he became the principal and dealer with the opening of Lake City
Central Equipment in Williams Lake. In his time there and here in Kamloops
he has represented most of the major manufacturers, Ford, New Holland, Case,
International Harvester, Massey Ferguson, Kubota, David Brown, Landini,
Universal, Jinma, Foton, Hesston, Braber, Westward, Farm King, Flexicoil, Leon,
Brillion, Howard and others at one time or another.
Richard Partington heads up the Parts Department.
Richard has been involved in the parts business since 1965 in a variety of
industries, starting with the automotive sector. He came to Kamloops in
1977 working in the off highway and moved into the ag industry in 2000.
Richard has developed an extensive network of suppliers for new and used
parts, enabling him to source parts for everything from that near new
tractor to that obsolete old sickle mower. Richard can get those parts to
you wherever you are.
Storm hired on as our resident mouser, however he failed to
show aptitude in that department. In a fashion seldom seen outside of
government he was then promoted to the position of senior paper weight. He
has shown tremendous proficiency in that department as not a single piece of
paper has gone missing from the box you see him sitting in since he took over.
Steve Garner rounds out the staff with duties in the
service dept. He has held an Inter Provincial Journeyman's Certificate as a
mechanic since 1978. His automotive background provided a good basis and
insight into the use of computers in today's industrial and agricultural
equipment.
