BAGMA (British Agricultural & Garden Machinery Association) has announced that it will be launching the new BAGMA Dealer Hub at GroundsFest, which is taking place at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire on 20 – 21 September.

BAGMA has been representing independent garden and agricultural machinery dealers in the UK for over 100 years. Throughout that time the association has been fighting for better terms and conditions for dealers from suppliers and manufacturers, whilst drawing on the strength of its membership numbers to influence outcomes.

In an ever-changing business world, the association plays a vital role in supporting the UK dealer network, and this support will be showcased through the new BAGMA Dealer Hub at GroundsFest.

11487888900?profile=RESIZE_584xThe Hub will be an opportunity for dealers, both BAGMA members and non-members, to gain industry insight, discuss relevant topics, receive support and advice, and answer any queries about membership, benefits, and training.

Commenting on the new Dealer Hub, Nick Darking, BAGMA General Manager, said: “We’re really excited to have the opportunity to be exhibiting at this new event. BAGMA having a presence at industry events is important for us as we are the association for the industry and represent dealers across groundscare, turfcare and agriculture.

“This new and exciting event is an opportunity for BAGMA to unveil the BAGMA Dealer Hub which consists of our partner services who are available to talk to visitors about how they can make your business more effective, and we will also have BAGMA trainers on hand doing demonstrations and talking to everyone about training. This is an opportunity for members and non-members to come and see what BAGMA is, what we do and how we can benefit you, your business, and the industry.”

GroundsFest’s Event Director, Christopher Bassett said: “We are delighted that BAGMA has chosen GroundsFest to launch the exciting BAGMA Dealer Hub. Dealerships are integral to the UK groundscare industry, and we are anticipating that many will attend GroundsFest in September. There will be plenty on offer at GroundsFest to interest dealers and the BAGMA Dealer Hub will further strengthen this.”

Aside from the all the fantastic opportunities available on the BAGMA Dealer Hub, the association will also have its famous Brew & Biscuit stand, so ensure that a visit to the BAGMA Dealer Hub is on your GroundsFest agenda.
