It was a special two days at LAMMA 24. Not only did we enjoy a very busy show, we also had the opportunity to present Breast Cancer Now with a cheque for £36,000 from our pink trailer prize draw. Charles Waudby won the trailer, it was nice to show him around his prize.
Our pink trailer certainly received a lot of attention as did other products on display. In particular our Bale Trailer complete with Hydraulic Bale Clamps sparked a number of conversations. Because we offer a choice of 3 different heights, farmers are able to choose clamps that suit their work rather than having to compromise.
High Lift trailers are a very specialist product, they come into their own if you need a trailer to tip into elevated storage units. Although they are a niche product, we decided to take one to LAMMA before it joins the fleet at a pea vining business. It looked very impressive elevated and illustrated perfectly how our design innovation leads to quality products that farmers can rely on.
We were joined on stand by members of our dealer network, which helped greatly during a hectic couple of days. Conversations were started, deals were done and the mood was optimistic for the year ahead, despite what mother nature and the government throw at us, but then farmers are a resilient bunch.
Our paint specialists Witham Group were also present on our stand. We’ve worked closely together to develop our new two-pack structural intermediate coating. This process now provides elasticity for objects to bounce off the trailer reducing impact and the potential for damage to the exterior paintwork. In addition, this new coating provides enhanced levels of mechanical, chemical, and weather resistance.
Stephen Bailey commented: “LAMMA is always a busy show for us, it’s held at a time when many farmers can afford to leave the farm for a day or two. It was great to meet up with many of our existing customers and to speak to farmers who we hope will become Bailey customers this year.”
