BAGMA proudly offers a portfolio of approved service providers, to deliver improved access to a full range of services at exclusive and competitive prices for its members. Within the last 12 months, Fog Bandit Security Systems and the Renticy revenue platform have joined an extensive list of partners which includes finance solutions, utility services and currency payments.

Of particular interest is a new partnership between BAGMA and Culverdocs, who together have launched a new app to tackle the industry-wide issue of triplicate forms. Offering a new ‘Paperless Solution’, users can benefit from digitised forms for Handover and Installation and other administrative functions. Launched in early September, dealers around the country are already discovering the vast improvement in efficiency when delivering machines, hiring on and more.

Members and non-members can find out more or organise a demo with the Culverdocs team by stopping by the stand later this month.

Together with efficiencies and savings, BAGMA is also continuing its work to fight for better terms and conditions for dealers as well as providing support to the wider agricultural, groundcare and garden machinery industry in the form of advice and training. With one combined voice, the association and sector are stronger.

As a special incentive for SALTEX visitors, those interested in joining BAGMA can benefit from an exclusive joining offer which allows members to receive 15 months for the price of 12 – applies to new or lapsed members on their first year of membership. More information is available by speaking to the BAGMA team on stand M102.

Successful dealer days at Carden Park

/in , /by

Successful dealer days at Carden Park: Managers from some of the largest groundscare contractors in the UK and over 50 representatives from Ventrac’s UK dealer network attended demonstration days at the Carden Park Resort in Cheshire recently.

Hosted by the UK importer, Price Turfcare, the event was split into two days; the first day exclusively for contractors and the following day for the dealer staff.

This was the largest gathering of Ventrac equipment ever assembled in the UK and provided the Price Turfcare team with the opportunity to demonstrate to both groups that Ventrac is so much more than just a mower.

Both days followed a similar format with a mid-morning ‘meet & greet’ over coffee followed by a presentation on the Price Turfcare company and the Ventrac product offering from Managing Director Rupert Price. Following a light lunch, the afternoon sessions were dedicated to demonstrations of the numerous attachments in the Ventrac range and the opportunity for delegates to operate some of the equipment.

Interspersed between the demonstrations, there was the opportunity for delegates to use some of the extensive sporting facilities at Carden Park, which included axe throwing and archery. A convivial dinner completed each day.

Commenting at the conclusion of the second day, Rupert Price said,

“I was absolutely delighted with the success of the meeting. The first day was the ideal opportunity to demonstrate to the contractors present, some of them existing customers, that Ventrac is much more than a mower. It’s a multi-tool with a wide range of attachments that can add definitely add value to their business. We had eight tractor units and over 20 attachments and it was the biggest gathering of equipment we’ve ever had at one location.

“The second day was the first time, since we launched the business back in 2017, that we were able get our UK dealers together. We have had unprecedented success with this product, in fact there are now well over 400 machines operating in the UK today. Many of the dealer staff present have sold multiple machines and I wanted to remind some of the others that this a unique piece of equipment and once demonstrated, there’s a high percentage of a sale. It was also an opportunity for some fun, with axe throwing and archery proving particularly popular. Thankfully we had no casualties!

“Carden Park was the ideal venue and Peter Pattenden, the Golf Courses and Estate Manager, and his team were very accommodating in allowing us to use their facilities. They could not have been more helpful and they allowed us to use the trencher, stump grinder and power rake; pieces of equipment that are quite aggressive, enabling some of the delegates to see them in action for the first time.

“All in all, a very successful couple of days.”
