SAGE release dates for summer 2021

June 16, 2020/in Events, News, Press Release/by Vicky Panniers

SAGE release dates for summer 2021: The all new summer grounds maintenance exhibition will take place 27^th, 28^th & 29^th July 2021. The Sports & Grounds Expo (SAGE) has been introduced for the sports and grounds maintenance industry to showcase their market leading products as well as release new innovations in an OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT, which will provide more opportunities to both the visitor and exhibitor.

The target of SAGE is to bring together grounds personnel from a broad range of sectors and provide an engaging and well-resourced environment in which they have the opportunity to test out and see in action the latest products and ideas on the market. Many companies are looking to improve efficiency and cost effectiveness and this is a key area which SAGE is focused on, not only for the exhibition itself but exploring and showcasing the products that allows this to actually happen across the industry.

SAGE is a three-day event and has been formed out of the heightening demand by visitors and exhibitors to get “hands-on”. The Three Counties Showground provides the ideal situation for both the exhibitor and visitor alike. It is beautifully set at the foot of the famous Malvern Hills and within easy reach of Malvern and Worcester which both have ample amounts of accommodation. The Three Counties Showground already plays host to the RHS Spring & Autumn shows as well as the famous Three Counties Show.

Keep up to date with all the SAGE news by following us on Twitter & Facebook.

Hospitality will be provided by many of our exhibitors onsite. There are no entrance fees and onsite parking is free of charge. The Three Counties is in a central location with good transport links easily providing a national and international reach. We look forward to seeing you next summer.

GGM group step out for charity

June 16, 2020/in News, Press Release/by Alison Mulrooney

GGM group step out for charity: A Lancashire business has demonstrated that it will always go the extra mile for charity -even when faced with a global pandemic.

Staff from the Colne-based GGM Group were disappointed that due to current restrictions in the lake district, they are unable to complete the company’s annual charity walking event, which this year was to climb the three highest peaks in England. Determined not to be defeated, Managing Director Chris Gibson has come up with his own ingenious way of completing the challenge.

GGM group step out for charity

Chris has pledged to travel from his home town of Lancaster to the businesses’ head office in Colne and then back again covering a distance of approximately 100 miles – through a combination of cycling and walking. The walking element will cover the Lancashire Witches Walk which passing through the Forest of Pendle, the town of Clitheroe and the Forest of Bowland to finish at Lancaster Castle.

He explains more:

“Last year the GGM team completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks in aid of our company charity, Greenfingers, and we were looking forward to this year’s event.

“As part of the Government’s initiative to get us back to work via walking or cycling, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to continue our fundraising. I’ve decided to create my own version, which adheres to Government guidelines and so I will be cycling to work from Lancaster and then walk home over the Lancashire Witches Walk. I’ve chosen this route because it was created to mark the 400th anniversary of the trail of the “Lancashire Witches” held at Lancaster Castle and I wanted to recognise the injustice and prejudice of the past and the need continue to fight to remove these from society today. Our team will be participating in our efforts, with people undertaking different legs in pairs, to enable social distancing.

The event will raise money for charities who are finding themselves cash-strapped during these difficult times. Greenfingers is the company charity for the second year running, dedicated to supporting children who spend time in hospices around the UK, along with their families, by creating inspiring gardens for them to relax in. In addition, funds will also be raised for St John’s Hospice in Lancaster which provides free palliative care to patients with life shortening conditions across North Lancashire, South Lakes and parts of North Yorkshire and Pendleside Hospice in Burnley, which exists to promote and enhance quality of life for people with life-limiting illnesses.

The GGM Group consists of two businesses across two depots. PSD Groundscare is the national distributor of specialist landscaping equipment, including AS Motor and Eliet, Koppl and TS Industrie. GGM Groundscare is a specialist supplier of tractors and high-quality professional land-based equipment for commercial and domestic use. Servicing the North West and Yorkshire, it supplies a range of products from leading franchises including Kubota, Baroness and Amazone.

Chris Gibson concluded:

“It’s a key part of our ethos at The GGM Group to give something back to the local community so for this event we’ve decided to support both St John’s Hospice in Lancaster and Pendleside Hospice in Burnley, as local charities who are desperately in need of funds at this time alongside Greenfingers our nominated company charity

“As we all adapt to the “new normal”, becoming more environmentally aware is a key part our business strategy and we are currently working with East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce undertaking ISO14001 accreditation–the small things like staff walking or cycling to walk all make a difference.

The GGM Group has set a target of £1000 for the event. You can support this worthy cause by donating at
