Florida Coast Equipment announced that Dennis B. Davis is stepping down as President. Davis will remain as CEO but has relinquished day-to-day operations to new President J. Todd Bachman. In other moves, Jason Watson has been named Vice President of Parts and Service.

“We’re very excited about our internal changes,” said outgoing President Dennis Davis. “I’m proud of everything we have accomplished as a company and excited to pass the torch to my two sons-in-laws because the future looks very bright.”

“It’s an honor to step in as President of Florida Coast Equipment,” said Todd Bachman. “I have very big shoes to fill but we’re on track to do some big things as a company.”

Florida Coast Equipment also announced they’ve opened a new location in Ft. Pierce, Fla., (15900 Westpark Lane, Ft. Pierce, Fla. 34945), making the company the largest Kubota dealership in Florida (serving Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Okeechobee, Indian River, Collier, Monroe, Hendry, Glades and surrounding counties) and one of the largest in the southeast.
