The full-day seminars were held at four sites – Bicester, the home of Barrus; Builth Wells in Wales; York; and Swaffham near Norfolk - covering all of the brands in the Barrus range. Those dealers who attended the Bicester seminar also received a tour of the Barrus facilities and an exclusive look at the new warehouse facility due to be opened on the 7th April.

Ben Lloyd of Charlies’ Stores in Wales was highly satisfied with the content and delivery of the event: “It has been well worth my time attending. It was informative and interesting, covering both technical matters and things that we can use in the showroom.”

Martin Wasley, Sales and Technical Manager of the Barrus Gardening Division, explained, “These events were well attended, with feedback being extremely positive on the support we offer our dealer network. The service and professionalism of our dealers is an extremely important factor to consumers when choosing our products, and we appreciate the time and effort involved in attending our seminars."

The Barrus roadshows will be back next year.
