Highland dealer with 25-year history joins Polaris national dealer network

 

An agricultural machinery dealer from the Scottish Highlands has marked its 25th year in business by joining the dealer network of global ATV and UTV manufacturer Polaris.

Mark Garrick started Mark Garrick Agricultural Engineers in Elgin, Moray in 2000 with just himself and a van. Since then, Mark, now joined by his son Blair who heads up the sales department, has developed and evolved the business to feature some of the most popular brands in the industry.

Already stocking CASE IH, Manitou and Portequip machinery and equipment, the business says Polaris will sit well alongside its current offering.

Mark said: “We are always looking for different avenues to go down and think Polaris will fit in nicely with our customers. We have got a good range of mixed customers and believe Polaris is a ‘go forward’ product. It will help enhance what we do with the rest of our customer base.

“This is our 25th year and we are looking forward to coming on board with Polaris.”

Mark Garrick Agricultural Engineers has a varied customer base but predominantly deals with mixed farms and arable enterprises. They say having Polaris on board will appeal to these types of business.

Mark added: “We see big potential with sheep and cattle farms. There are a lot of arable farms around us and we have some construction and industrial business customers as well.”

Securing the opportunity to join the Polaris dealer network comes at an opportune moment for Garrick as this Spring will see the launch of the new Polaris Ranger 500 which is designed specifically to meet the growing demand from UK farmers and landowners for a practical, mid-size utility vehicle that bridges the gap between a traditional quad bike (ATV) and a full-size UTV.

Costing less than £10,000, the RANGER 500 offers a compelling "step-up" for those currently using ATVs who require the added safety and comfort of a cab, the convenience of a cargo bed, and the ability to carry a passenger, all while maintaining a compact footprint and approachable price point.

Other key vehicles include the new RANGER Nordic Pro range, which come with a complete factory-fitted premium cab system, in-cab heater and winch as standard, along with the brand new 2-Up Sportsman range with seating for two riders. 2026 also marks the 40th anniversary of the Sportsman ATV.

Neil Pirie, District Sales Manager for Polaris, said:  We are delighted to welcome Mark Garrick Agricultural Engineers to our national dealer network. It’s a company that’s now been around for 25 years and that helps to illustrate the quality of customer care they provide.

“They will be a valuable addition to Polaris and it ensures they can provide their customers in the Highlands with even more.”
