ACE TAKE ON POLARIS New dealer appointed to cover the Cotswolds
A new Polaris ATV/UTV dealership for the Cotswolds has opened at Lypiatt Farm, Miserden, between Birdlip and Stroud in Gloucestershire. “It is the first time people in the Cotswolds have had access to Polaris with their own local dealer,” says Murray Boss who owns and operates ACE ATV, his Bromsgrove All Terrain Vehicle centre.
A qualified Agricultural Engineer and from a farming background, Murray has been selling Polaris for over ten years and saw the need for a Cotswold outlet for the farming community, large estates and the many shooting and hunting groups in the area. ACE have taken a former grain store at Miserden and converted it to house a full range of Polaris ATV’s and quads for demonstration.
It will be run by Steven Powell who was with a competitor’s dealership for fifteen years and knows the area very well. He makes the point that you can view machines on the Internet and in brochures but the only real way to choose is to physically try one. ACE, in carrying a full demonstration fleet, are equipped to select what they think is best and take it to the customer to try in their own working environment. “Customers can rest assured”, says Murray “in choosing Polaris they have one of the world’s leading manufacturers of ATV’s and UTV’s and we provide all our knowledge and support built up over our ten years as official Polaris dealers.
The 2013 Event Planner in a new, larger size, will once again contain dates of all the national and international industry shows and events. Published with the December issue of Turf Pro/Service Dealer TO ADVERTISE GEORGE MILLER E-mail or 020 3603 7936
