Dealers George Browns Ltd, based out of Daventry are now officially the UK distributers of AgriMetal Blowers.

Steve Brown, Groundcare Sales Representative at George Browns, told Service Dealer, "We used to deal with John Shaw Machinery, who were the UK distributors. We've had massive success with these machines for the last 6 years, as they require very little aftercare due to being built sturdily and simply.

"Since, John Shaw machinery have been bought by TORO/Reesink, they have stopped importing Agrimetal blowers, which put us in a tricky situation. We believe the product can do well in the market so we want to continue supplying it  - and we also have a duty to our long standing customers to look after the machines we’ve supplied.

"We did bring a few in by air freight but it became quite a costly exercise. Thus, we’ve been in contact with Agrimetal, who are based in Canada, and they’ve agreed to continue their distribution directly through us by shipping in container loads, saving the transport costs."

Steve continued, "We would like dealers who are intrested in suppling the machine, to contact Peter Hopkinson, Branch Manager at Chesham on 01494 782334, so that we can create a small dealer network.

"We are very aware that dealers like to protect their own areas, just as we protect ours. So enquiries which come in to us will be distributed to the most appropriate dealer."
