Baggleys Machinery, a family run dealership based in Norfolk has been appointed by Pellenc for their full range of battery-powered equipment.

Baggleys Machinery now occupies a six-acre site and has eight members of staff.

Solly says he is particularly pleased after adding the Pellenc range to the company’s extensive portfolio of products. “I had been interested in Pellenc equipment for quite a while,” he said. “I actually had a hands-on demonstration a long time ago when Pellenc was first introduced into the country. I was instantly impressed but unfortunately at that time I didn’t have the customer base that I have now and was not in a position to take it on. So now I’m really pleased to finally be offering Pellenc to our customers.”

Solly continued, “The feedback from customers has already been incredible and many of them have commented on the fact that they are now able to start their jobs earlier. They can now start to cut a hedge or strim straight away, whereas with their petrol machines they wouldn’t be able to use it, say at 7am, due to the noise disturbance.

Baggleys Machinery will distributing the complete Pellenc range and Solly says he has already seen a demand for the products from the likes of local authorities, hospitals, universities and contractors.
