Honey Brothers, the dealership established in 1955 who specialise in forestry and arboricultural equipment, have opened a new, purpose-built premises in Peasmarsh near Guildford, Surrey.

In early March they held an Open Day to celebrate the occasion and to show off the new facility to customers old and new.

Director Martyn Day said, “The open day was a chance for us to share our brand new shop with our customers and to thank them for supporting us over the years. We created almost a mini trade show with exhibitors set up with stands outside and running demos such as chainsaw trouser tests and a climbing forum.

“Everyone who came enjoyed a burger and a beer and were able to speak to key suppliers such as Petzl, Husqvarna, Outwear and Stihl, see new products and share ideas.”

The new climbing area

Fellow director, Stu Girdler, added, “The new premises allows us to display a huge amount more of our product range and with the space it has given us the chance to create a climbing area for customers to test out ropes, hardware and harnesses. We also have a much larger serving counter to keep up with the increase in customer footfall and a fantastic new workshop so that we can service and repair machinery a lot more efficiently.

“In the future we are looking forward to hosting events, product demo days and climber meet ups, as our shop and outdoor areas now provide the ideal space. Here’s to the next 65 years!”
