Baroness announce new 22,000sq foot facility: Baroness UK, leaders in high-quality turf maintenance equipment, are pleased to announce a significant expansion to their UK facilities.

The expanded facility, located in Basingstoke, becomes the third facility in the UK and marks a significant milestone for the brand as they seek to support their 18 dealers operating out of 46 sites throughout the UK, Ireland and across the EU. Together with underscoring their commitment to delivering exceptional service, the strategic investment also allows Baroness to streamline further machine imports, have a larger dedicated space for hands-on training and stock a wider range of spares and parts.

“As demand for our equipment continues to grow, it’s vital we are investing in the infrastructure that enables us to meet the needs of our dealers and end-users, not only in the UK but further afield” comments Baroness UK Director Adam Butler. “The new facility will support increased inventory and faster delivery but will also give us the space we need to run new and more frequent training programmes to ensure our dealers are equipped with the knowledge and resources they need to deliver the exceptional quality and reliability that Baroness is known for.”

“We see this as a necessary step to elevate our operation to the next level. It’s not just growing our footprint, it’s strengthening all elements of our manufacturer/dealer relationship which will put us in the best position to provide unmatched support in every aspect of the ownership and service of a Baroness and AgriMetal product.”

Gary puts his best foot forward

/in , /by

Gary puts his best foot forward: An employee from The GGM Group has swapped his work boots for dance shoes last weekend, to raise money for Bolton Hospice as part of a prestigious dancing competition.

Gary Taylor, a key member of the after sales team, along with his partner Jacqui Brown, were one of 20 couples to take part in Strictly Learn to Dance which took place at Bolton Stadium last Friday (31st March).

The pair, who have no previous dancing experience, have followed a gruelling 12-week programme, spending many hours learning some classic dance routines.

Their efforts culminated in a glittering and glamorous event which was attended by over 700 people and in total raised over £50,000 for Bolton Hospice and Gary and Jacqui were supported by friends, family and colleagues from the GGM team as they took part in the Salsa and the Foxtrot.

Gary said:

“Jacqui has always wanted to take part in this event and so when the opportunity arose it was too good an opportunity to miss. Neither of us have ever danced before and to say we were nervous was an understatement – but the atmosphere on the night was electric, and the immense support we have had definitely spurred us on.”

Bolton Hospice is close to the heart of both Gary and Jacqui, having supported two of their friends through the end of their illnesses, and they wanted to give something back to this fantastic cause.

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, GGM Managing Director said:

“The team and I are hugely proud of what Gary and Jacqui have achieved for this wonderful cause. We know from staff Christmas parties that they have some great moves on the dancefloor – but to do this in front of 700 people is a completely different level and takes real guts.”

“It’s a key part of our ethos at The GGM Group to give something back to the local community, last year raising over £10,000 for our company charities. We’re delighted to support Gary and Bolton Hospice in this great event and to match the amount they had raised themselves ahead of the event”.
