Upon leaving Louisville our Service Dealer contingent were full of praise for the OPEI’s show. Those who hadn’t attended before were utterly impressed and said they could have spent even longer chatting to the representatives on stands and trying out the machines across the site.
The consensus certainly appeared to be that if UK dealers could afford the time away from the business for a few days – and of course the travel and accommodation expenses – a trip to Equip is well worth the effort. Not everything seen will make its way to our shores, but there is more than enough there to offer genuine inspiration.
Above you can watch Service Dealer owner Duncan Murray-Clarke, dealer Pete McArthur of Strathbogie Forest & Garden, and landscape contracts manager at Manchester City FC, Danny Lewis discuss their impressions of Equip over a beer at the conclusion of 2022’s event.
