East Anglia grounds care equipment retailer, Ben Burgess GroundsCare Equipment, have announced they have become the official distributor for stump grinder supplier Predator across England and Wales.

Ben Burgess say Predator manufacture narrow access tree stump grinders with a reputation of producing high quality, reliable machines to serve the arboricultural industry.

Ben Burgess first partnered with Predator in February 2018. Since then they say demonstrations and sales of the machines have been extremely successful and complement the other arboricultural brands Ben Burgess have within their range.

Ben B Turner, Ben Burgess’ Group GroundsCare Equipment manager, said, "We are very pleased to be making this announcement. We have had great success since becoming a dealer for Predator and hope to go from strength to strength in the coming years. We will continue to sell Predator equipment directly within East Anglia and the Midlands and we will be appointing a select number of other dealers to assist us further afield.”

In order to support the sales and aftercare of the product across England and Wales as well as assisting the new network of suppliers, Ben Burgess have appointed Neal Hussey as arboricultural specialist. Neal has been with the company for 18 years.

“Predator stump grinders are very popular with our customers as they are compact and suit varying terrain and areas often difficult to access with other larger machinery”, commented Neal. “There is fantastic potential for the Predator range in the UK and I look forward to providing arborists with the opportunity for demonstrations across the country.”

Simon Bradshaw from Predator said, “This exciting development builds on the team's incredible success over the last year, providing the highest level of service to Predator users. Their drive to appoint new dealers & service points across the region will be a huge asset to our existing customer base, providing a more local contact for sales and servicing.”
