BAGMA visits 20+ members at a new show in Devon

TAKING PLACE AT Westpoint Arena Exeter, the West Country Farming & Machinery Show is a new farming show for the South West.

Aimed at farmers and people involved in farming-related activities across the South West, the show also attracted BAGMA’s business development manager, Richard Jenkins. He was there as the doors opened to catch up with more than 20 BAGMA members exhibiting at the show.

Agricultural companies large and small were there under one roof. By mid-morning the indoor and outdoor aisles were extremely busy and there was a great buzz around the arena. Mason Kings and Vincent’s reported interest from current and new customers, both having excellent stands showcasing their manufacturers’ products.

Another BAGMA member, Ball &

Ball, located in the indoor area, took the opportunity to promote their braking and air-conditioning systems. Sam Ball commented that they were pleasantly surprised at the quality leads secured on the day.

Richard also attended the seminar on road rules and red diesel run by the National Association of Agricultural Contractors and HMRC. The Q&A session provided the opportunity to clarify the situation regarding agricultural vehicles on the road and new red diesel rules. Richard thought the seminar was informative, well put together and well received by the large audience.

Congratulations to the show organisers and to all the dealers who had clearly put a lot into the day. An excellent local show with every exhibitor appealing to those attending, surely one that will be back next year!
