Read Agriservices Offers VIN Chip Security Marking to Protect Farm Machinery in Somerset

We’re proud to welcome Read Agriservices as a new VIN Chip® partner. A trusted, family-run agricultural engineering business with over 50 years of service to the local farming community, Read Agriservices is now offering VIN Chip security marking across its machinery stock, giving customers greater confidence and peace of mind.

Founded in 1971 on the border of Witham Friary and Upton Noble, Read Agriservices has grown into a well-respected agricultural machinery dealer, renowned for its commitment to quality service and dependable support. In 1999, the business relocated to a more accessible site in Wanstrow, enabling it to better serve local customers while benefiting from a prominent main road location.

Today, Read Agriservices supplies a wide range of agricultural machinery including agricultural and compact tractors, Telehandlers, ATVs & UTVs, and other essential equipment for farm, equestrian, and smallholding applications.

Now, in partnership with VIN Chip, Read Agriservices is adding another layer of value and protection for its customers by offering premium security marking across its machinery stock.

“We’ve always taken pride in supplying high-quality equipment backed by trusted service,” says Greg Stevens of Read Agriservices. “Partnering with VIN Chip gives our customers greater peace of mind. Theft of farm machinery is still a real issue, and we want to do all we can to help deter it.”

VIN Chip uses secure, tamper-evident labels and UHF RFID chips that are registered to a national police-accessible database, providing robust theft deterrence and supporting police recovery efforts.

“We’re delighted to be working with the team at Read Agriservices,” says Mike Morton, Business Growth Manager at VIN Chip. “Their reputation for integrity and hands-on experience makes them a natural fit. By integrating VIN Chip into their sales and aftercare offering, they’re helping farmers protect vital assets and reduce the risk of loss.”

With agricultural machinery theft remaining a persistent challenge in rural communities, this partnership represents a shared commitment to safeguarding livelihoods and strengthening security in the industry.
