ROCHFORD DEALERS VISIT GERMANY
Trip to Al-Ko R&D facility and flagship showroom

This week Rochford Garden Machinery took a large group of their dealers to Kötz, Germany to visit the Al-Ko facility.

Presentations were given by both the German and Austrian Al-Ko management teams as well as Rochford's md Stewart Anderson and marketing director Mark Rochford. At all steps of the trip the UK dealers were encouraged to give their feedback to help instigate future machinery development.

The group were treated to a tour of the highly impressive Research & Development facility at Kotz, and also got a chance to get their hands-on some new products. A visit was also made to the spectacular flagship Al-Ko showroom nearby.

A wonderful social programme also included a Bavarian evening with traditional music and games. Whilst on the way back to the airport there was time for a stop-off at the most impressive BMW museum in Munich.

A full report of the trip will appear in a subsequent issue of Service Dealer.
