Within this role, Leigh, formerly of Allett Mowers, will be working closely with ground care professionals, both in the private and public sectors, providing demonstrations of the latest machinery offered from Henton & Chattell’s range of brands including EGO, Cobra and Allett. Leigh will also be supporting dealers with Billy Goat’s range of lawn care products.

“Our customers trust us to deliver great service and quality products," said Leigh. "We have been distributing products across the country and generating great customer satisfaction for 87 years, and I am thrilled to become a part of it all.

"My new role will see my experience in customer support and business development expand thanks to the vast array of brands Henton & Chattell has. I am thrilled to be joining and I look forward to embarking on this new adventure working alongside a strong team.”
