I think it’s fair to say that 2022 has been a challenging year in many respects, however, there have also been some positives…
February 2022 marked forty years since the very first Bailey trailer rolled off the production line. If you asked my father back then if he could have envisaged where we are today, he wouldn’t have thought it possible. We’ve come a long way, we’re still a family firm and I’m very proud there’s a next generation of Bailey’s helping us drive our business forwards.
We welcomed McMullan Agri to our network of dealers. This was a significant moment for Bailey Trailers, McMullan are our first dealership in Northern Ireland. The team at McMullan are now offering both sales support and aftercare for Northern Ireland and Donegal.
Our Hydraulic Bale Clamps have become a popular option on sales of new Bale and Pallet trailers. We increased the range by introducing 850mm Hydraulic Bale Clamps which offer the perfect solution to farmers and contractors carting potato boxes, fertiliser bags or seed bags.
It was great to meet up with so many of our customers again during the shows we’ve attended up and down the UK this year. There’s nothing better than hearing how our products are helping farmers and contractors meet their goals. Many of the innovations on our trailers are the result of conversations with customers, we’ve always said if their idea works we’ll build it.
Looking ahead to 2023 and beyond, we’ll keep developing and refining our products across the range of industries we serve from agriculture and market gardens to construction and utilities. There are also one or two areas we could expand into and all I can say is watch this space. We’re looking forward to seeing many of you at LAMMA next January, come and say hello, you’ll find us in Hall 20 Stand 20.750.
I would like to thank you for your continued support over this past twelve months. On behalf of the Bailey team and myself we would like to wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Michael Bailey
Managing Director
