Henton & Chattell to be appointed Baroness dealer: Henton & Chattell, a well-established family-owned company founded in 1931, is delighted to announce its forthcoming appointment as a Baroness dealer in the East Midlands region.

With decades of experience in serving golf courses, ground care contractors, and local authorities in the Midlands, Henton & Chattell has earned a respected reputation for its customer-focused approach and exceptional after-sales support. It is this reputation that led to Baroness’s decision to welcome Henton & Chattell to its dealer network.

Adam Butler, sales director of Baroness adds, “It’s very exciting times for Baroness. To stay in line with our company’s business plan for the continued growth of Baroness & AgriMetal products in the UK, and our association with other Japanese made products. We really feel our new partnership with Henton & Chattell is a great fit for all and very much look forward to working with the whole team. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the team at PS Marsden, who have done a fantastic job supporting Baroness in the area over the past few years, and wish them all the very best for the future.”

Baroness, renowned for its high-quality mowers and meticulous craftsmanship by Japanese engineers, has gained recognition worldwide for delivering impressive cutting quality. The longevity of Baroness products is exemplified by their durable cylinder blades and bed knives. With over a century of successful operations, Baroness continues to be a market leader globally.

“We are excited to be joining the Baroness dealer network later this year,” said Peter Chaloner, Managing Director of Henton & Chattell. “Baroness machinery is well-regarded for its market-leading cut quality and impressive blade durability, which has led to a growing number of golf courses making the switch to Baroness. Additionally, the shorter lead times on deliveries from Japan present a major advantage for our customers.”

As a family business with strong roots in Nottingham, Henton & Chattell takes immense pride in its 85-strong workforce. The company is actively engaged in developing its presence in golf course, ground care, and agricultural markets. Additionally, the company operates a successful wholesale and distribution business, serving the needs of over 1,500 garden machinery dealers across the UK and Ireland.

The upcoming partnership between Henton & Chattell and Baroness promises to provide customers in the East Midlands with top-tier expertise and reliable solutions for their diverse needs.

New community sport zone at SALTEX

October 20, 2023/in News, Press Release/by Rosie Duckworth

New community sport zone at SALTEX: New to SALTEX 2023 is the Community Sport Zone which presents a range of grass pitch maintenance machinery curated to be of specific interest to grassroots and community football, rugby union and rugby league clubs – all of which can be purchased through funding schemes.

Spokespeople from the brands will be present alongside the GMA’s Regional Pitch Advisors to guide visitors through the features and benefits of the machinery, answer questions and explain how this machinery is available to purchase thanks to the millions of pounds of funding that has been awarded via the Premier League, The FA and Government’s Football Foundation to support grassroots football, as well as for Rugby League and Rugby Union in England.

In the zone, located alongside the GMA Hub, will be compact tractors from Campey Turf Care and Iseki, combination grooming tools such as Quadraplay, tractor mounted slitters from Greentek Solutions, tractor mounted fertiliser spreaders, cricket mowers, and line markers from Fleet Ltd.

The GMA’s Pitch Advisory Service is made up of grass pitch experts and understands volunteer and community sport grounds staff better than anyone else. The Pitch Advisory Service works throughout the year to support sport’s National Governing Bodies in improving the quality of grass pitches across the country and at all levels of sport, with particular focus on community sport.

The machinery on display in the Community Sport Zone has been curated from Pitch Advisory Service recommendations in their grass pitch reports facilitated through the Football Foundation’s PitchPower web-based app.

Jason Booth, chief operating office at the GMA, says: “We’re always looking at new ways to bring value and valuable experiences to visitors at SALTEX, hence the introduction of the Community Sport Zone at this year’s event.

“It will showcase key machinery that will directly benefit grounds people at a recreational level and is an opportunity not to be missed for grassroots clubs needing an introduction to the machinery and the funding opportunities available.

“We are extremely proud of the work our Pitch Advisory Service does year-round to support community sport across the country in collaboration with our partners at the National Governing Bodies – the machinery on show wouldn’t be possible for community clubs to acquire if it wasn’t often funded through the Football Foundation’s Grass Pitch Maintenance Fund.

“We appreciate the National Governing Bodies’ support and look forward to introducing a new audience to the world of benefits that SALTEX can offer grounds care professionals at all levels of sport.”

There will also be a guided tour with the GMA’s Regional Pitch Advisors taking visitors around the show floor to see the exhibitors displaying more specialised equipment.
