The APF was an opportunity for GGM to showcase its product range aimed at the woodland and tree-care industries. The range showcased included the TP280 tracked chipper which generated a huge amount of interest and requests for demos and just prior to the show, GGM had made a sale of a new TP280 tracked chipper and the event allowed for a handover to the customer with the technical team from TP.

Key features of the product include:

  • A large, 11” in-feed with aggressive ”shark teeth” vertical rollers generating a strong and effective in-feed
  • TP “Fast Feed” option giving the chipper the safe hand feeding as well as the benefit of excavator feeding for larger timber
  • Full radio remote operation for controlling the chipper from the excavator seat
  • No need for HGV transport, the TP280 chipper can be transported on a suitable 3,500kg GVW Plant trailer behind a capable pick up or van.

The event also provided an opportunity for the business to showcase the Cast SSQ Worky-Quad skidsteer loaders which revolutionize on-site working where narrow access and confined workspaces are an issue. Thanks to the interchangeability of multiple attachments, the SSQ Worky-quad can complete a large range of tasks throughout many different industries

The addition of Worky Quad to the product range follows significant developments in GGM’s entry in to the Arb market, including the expansion of their FSI territories with the addition of Yorkshire to North Wales and North of England. FSI is Europe’s largest manufacturer of stump cutters and becoming the FSI Stump Cutter Dealer for most of the North of England along with TP and Workyquad is a large step towards the company’s ambition to become the tree surgeon’s dealer of choice in the North.

The GGM range of Ag & Arb equipment also offers high-performing solutions from manufacturers including Kubota, Knegt, Major, Eliet, Echo and Husqvarna amongst others.

Phil Edmondson of GGM said:

“It was fantastic to exhibit at this national show allowing us to showcase our range in the best possible way. We had a huge number of visitors with enquiries right across our product range.

With FSI and TP also having stands at the show, the added benefit of having manufacturers present to offer hands-on advice direct to the end users proved theirs, and GGM Groups commitment to the arb industry”.

Trevor, who runs his own landscaping business, couldn’t be more excited about his new mower. “I’m itching to start cutting some grass with it. I’ve heard a lot about the Toro ProStripe, and I know it’s going to hugely benefit my business,” he said. “It was the cherry on top after attending the fantastic GroundsFest 2024. The event was exactly what the industry has been crying out for—somewhere you can not only see new products but actually get hands-on and try them out. It’s so refreshing to attend an event that allows us to make informed decisions, rather than just talking specs and features. GroundsFest lets you experience the products firsthand, which is a game changer for anyone in the industry.”

Matthew Coleman, Sales Manager Professional Landscape Contractor & Site Works Equipment for the UK Direct Market, echoed Trevor’s enthusiasm. Toro UK sponsored the registration prize and reported an overwhelmingly successful debut at the show.

“It was a pleasure to sponsor the registration prize at GroundsFest this year, our first year of exhibiting as Toro UK, and what a great first year it was,” Matthew said. “I can see the future potential in GroundsFest and see how this event will help us promote our offerings to a large proportion of our markets. The show provides everything required to showcase both ends of our vast portfolio—hats off to the GroundsFest Team.”

He added, “A huge congratulations to the winner of our sponsored prize! It was fantastic to see how appreciative Trevor was in receiving his new Toro ProStripe. It was quickly evident the ProStripe has gone to a deserving winner and someone who’s very excited to create his first Toro stripes!”

GroundsFest continues to deliver memorable experiences for both exhibitors and attendees, and Trevor’s win is just one example of the many highlights from the event.
