DEALER DROPS DOMESTIC TO CONCENTRATE ON PRO MACHINERY

Dealers Fentons of Bourne say they are dropping domestic machinery to concentrate on professional equipment - as well as bolstering the hire side of their business.

As part of this change, the dealership has recently been appointed by Etesia to offer their full range of products in the areas of South Lincolnshire, North Cambridgeshire, and some parts within the Norfolk border. 

Glen Bellamy, managing director of Fentons who are a local family-owned business situated between Bourne and Market Deeping, explained how they have recently bolstered in these two key areas. 

“We have stopped domestic business and have instead decided to go down the professional and commercial route," he said. "In addition, we have also focussed on increasing the hire side of the business, and we feel the Etesia brand will fit nicely into both of these.

“We are looking at targeting schools and colleges, where there is a big need for products such as those from Etesia. Furthermore, many of our customers have older Etesia pedestrian mowers which could do with upgrading. We feel it is time for them to see just how far the brand has developed because they will see the benefits.”

“I’ve been familiar with the Etesia brand for many years, and I have been speaking to the company for about 15 years,” continued Glen. “It now felt like the ideal time to become an Etesia dealer because it fits in perfectly with everything we do.

As well as being optimistic about the products, Glen says that he is looking forward to working more closely with Ian Collington, area sales manager for Etesia UK.  

“With Ian we know his phone is always on and he is there to support us. To be honest it is nice to see that we have an area manager that still has a van with some kit in it and is prepared to get his hands dirty! That goes a long way in my book.”
