MACHINERY & SUSTAINABILITY

Professional dealership, RT Machinery say they were delighted to welcome 300 people in person for their first full RTM Show Live since 2019.

Brackwell Farm in Nether Winchendon, Aylesbury, was once again alive with the hum of conversation and machinery as guests took advantage of the opportunity to talk with over 30 manufacturers, watch demos and enjoy ride-and-drive trials.

In addition to the machinery, customers and visitors were able to hear from five speakers in the dealership's new hay loft auditorium during the morning, including Jo Little from Planet Mark, one of the UK’s leading organisations in sustainability.

Guests also enjoyed Colonel Dan Rex MVO from the Queen’s Green Canopy. Set up to encourage people to Plant a Tree for the Jubilee, the QGC has already inspired over a million trees to be planted across the United Kingdom and is now extended to the end of March 2023, giving people the opportunity to plant trees in memoriam to honour Her Majesty.

Ed Charles from Perennial was able to give visitors more insight into how it offers support and financial assistance to all the workers in the industry. RTM say many had never heard of the charity before and were blown away to learn what help is available.

Managing director Richard Taylor said, “I’d like to thank all our customers, suppliers, speakers and colleagues who made the show such a great day after the challenges of the last couple of years. Equally, we all have a responsibility to improve the sustainability of the industry and the show created a perfect opportunity to explore machinery innovations and a lot more in this regard.”
