Agricultural machinery dealer Benn Burgess has opened a temporary site in Rutland.
The site, which will handle its Oakham operations, is at Woodside Farm, Empingham.
The opening of the site follows John Deere's announcement back in February that Ben Burgess would be expanding into Rutland and become the local dealer for the brand.
Plans for a purpose-built branch have been submitted and building will begin as soon as possible.
In the meantime, the Oakham team, supported by the company's branches at Ellington, Huntingdon and Coates, Peterborough, can provide sales, service and parts support immediately.
Ben B Turner, Director leading the Oakham project, said: "Since John Deere announced our expansion, we have been working hard to secure a presence in our new area as soon as possible.
"Although a temporary location, we feel having a base allows us to provide the excellent customer service expected and we are making very good progress in welcoming new members to our Oakham team."
Robert Burdock, Oakham Branch Manager, commented: "From 15th June we will be offering full product support and will operate a parts collection point in line with Covid-19 restrictions.
"We have highly trained technicians and FarmSight specialists available to provide remote connected support and visit if required. Our sales team are available for all purchasing and demonstration requests too.
"We have made a very positive start in building our business from Oakham and our new site is an excellent step in showing our commitment to the local farming community."
A purpose-built Ben Burgess Oakham is due to open in 2021 and will be Ben Burgess' seventh branch.
The company is recruiting for several key roles and information on vacancies available can be found at www.benburgess.co.uk/careers
