A customer Fendt event was recently held by dealers RVW Pugh Ltd at Garthmyl Hall, Montgomery, Powys, which displayed their portfolio of the manufacturer's product and all things Fendt.

The aptly named ‘Fendt Fest’ took place at the start of the German Oktoberfest celebrations to be in-keeping with the theme and support of the company's origin.

RVW Pugh say they started plans for the event back in the summer months and wanted to give their Fendt customers an opportunity to attend as well as some customers that they may not have dealt with before. Together, they say themselves and Fendt worked hard to deliver an event that offered information and knowledge and typical German hospitality.

Guests were able to rotate product stations including Combines and Self-propelled foragers, rakes, tedders, tractors and guidance. With the full range of Fendt tractors taking centre stage at the front of the hall it looked an impressive set up. They were then seated in traditional trestle tables and benches to enjoy a three-course, German inspired meal, German beer served in their very own Fendt stein and entertainment from Bavarian band Brasswurst. Audience participation was encouraged!

"There was a lot of work that went into this event from both parties and we really felt that it was worthwhile," said  Robert Pugh, Owner of RVW Pugh LTD. "We want to educate the farming community on the great benefits of the Fendt product and stop the price stigma that surrounds it."

The event gave guests an opportunity to speak with RVW PUGH personnel and Fendt specialists about the product but also to speak with other users for a real life testimonials.

RVW Pugh say that the feedback from guests has been excellent. Comments collected from attendees included, "The place looked fantastic with all the tractors under spotlights. The staff, the hall and the family are all a credit to RVW Pugh and Fendt. A very big thank you." And, "It was nice to have chance to look closely at products both suitable for our operation and some that are very different. I really appreciate the effort."
