BRANSON SIGN MORE DEALERS
And introduce compact tractor range

Branson Tractors held Ride & Drive Days this week at Arrow Mill near Alcester, to introduce their compact tractor range to the UK dealer network.

Across the two sessions held on Tuesday and Wednesday, MD Nathan Walker says he was delighted with the level of enthusiam exhibited by the dealers, interested in taking on the tractors.

Nathan said, "It was a full on couple of days but while we are still waiting for the dust to settle I know that we had in excess of 50 delegates representing more than 20 dealerships over the two days. We also had a customer session with attendees from as far afield as Sussex!

"We will make a fuller announcement about new dealers in early January, but we confirmed two more stocking dealers - CR Willcocks (South Devon) and JG Plant (South Wales) at the open days and I will be processing a number of dealer applications that we received over the next two weeks."

Nathan went on to say, "I'm aiming for 20-25 dealers in total. But that will include some with one depot operations and some would be multi-branched. So I'd say I'm aiming at about 40-50 outlets. And I'd like to be doing that within a year to 18months."

At the sessions at Arrow Mill, the dealers were able to get their hands on models from across the range, predominantly aimed at the groundscare sector. From the 00 Series which starts at 21hp up to a fuly cabbed K Series which crosses over into the agricultural market.

Also available to demo were a range of attachments from Lewis Equipment - a separate company from Branson, but with whom they have a close relationship, sharing some facilities and premises.
