User feedback key for Simon Richard Ltd: Simon Richard has recently celebrated 30 years trading in the Agriculture and Ground care Industries. Simon says, “our business was established selling fertilisers sprayers and toppers but diversified 20 years ago when we were appointed as UK Importers for the Muthing flail range.
This fitted very well as we had been involved with another flail manufacturer for 10 years prior.
Working closely with Dr Michael Muthing, owner and Managing Director of Muthing GmbH, allowed us to help develop, test and assist in the launch of a range of ground care products using design features which have become the basis of our current Muthing ground care range. The product range has evolved and developed primarily based on feedback from our UK client base that has enjoyed the benefit of flails developed and tested in the UK and built in Germany.
Leicester City Council, in particular, played a huge part along with Mitchell Industries, when in 2005 they added the yellow Muthing flails to their fleet. This was the start of a long term relationship and the continued growth and product development of the now firmly established Muthing brand within the UK professional ground care sector, demonstrating the benefits afforded by the flail when compared with a cylinder mower or rotary, for a range of amenity tasks. Financial restraints mean more and more customers are looking at out-front flail mowers in preference to cylinder and rotary mowers as they can deliver the required cut quality. The Muthing Range is also proven to consume less power and be easier to run, making it a perfect match for a range of power units, be it a John Deere, Kubota, Shibaura, Iseki, amongst others.
Year on year sales growth requires a fast and efficient parts support service and we pride ourselves on 92% of orders being dispatched on the same day. We look forward to continuing to support an expanding dealer and end–user client portfolio, based on product knowledge, continued development and after sales service.”
