Together with their Belgian distributor, Walker Mowers have announced the launch of Walker Mowers UK to handle all sales and service business for the UK market.

Walker Mowers have manufacturing roots going back over six decades with their first prototype zero turn mower developed in 1977. The company say they are proud of their 40 years of knowledge, development and satisfied customers throughout the US and in 28 countries around the world.

The company said in a statement that in recent comparative tests of major zero turn machines, the Walker Mower demonstrated "huge time savings, representing a significant reduction in operating costs". The company invite dealers and operators to explore what they describe as 'The Walker Advantage' on their website (www.walker.com) for the results.

Staffing for this new UK venture will commence with the appointment of two Area Sales Managers, (see advertisement in this week's Service Dealer Update), and in addition the appointment of a Country Manager will be made, to manage and expand the sales activity and take the business forward.

The new organisation will focus on the demonstration, sales and service support for the full range of Walker Mowers and the mower options that today include, collection, mulching and flail unit.



The range of mowers and dealer commercial package will be launched at SALTEX 2017, Stand E010 (November 1-2 at NEC Birmingham).

Service Dealer understands that following their appointment, the two Area Sales Managers will attend a full product and sales training programme at the manufacturers headquarters in Fort Collins, Colorado.
