ESTABLISHED PRO DEALER BRANCHES OUT INTO ARB SECTOR

The GGM Group have announced that they are entering the arb sector after securing a partnership with FSI, Europe’s largest manufacturer of stump cutters - making the first part of their move into the arb space.

GGM are now the FSI stump cutter dealer for the north west and north Wales and say they are looking to further pursue opportunities within the arb sector over the coming months, as they look to become, as they put it, “the tree surgeon’s dealer of choice in the north.”

This move follows last year’s announcement that Phil Edmondson had joined to head the expansion of the company’s Kubota portfolio into higher horsepower M-series tractors and RO loaders, alongside its groundscare business.

Phil’s role will now be expanded, driving both the ag and arb offering of the business forward through the new GGM Ag and Arb department. Phil has been in the arb industry for 30 years and has worked with FSI products for the past 11 years so when the dealership opportunity arose he saw this as exploiting his substantial experience.

Phil said, “Following my recent move to the GGM Group Ltd to head up their agricultural tractor sales, I have been contacted by several arb machinery manufacturers with a view to the GGM Group becoming a dealer for their product ranges.

“Having reviewed these offers internally and met with some suppliers we have decided to add arb related machinery products to our existing range and to offer these through the GGM Ag and Arb department.”

Phil continued, “Both our Colne and Haydock workshops have highly skilled in-house and mobile service technicians with vast experience in all kinds of grounds maintenance and agricultural machinery who, along with our dedicated well stocked and knowledgeable parts team, offers customers the high level of aftersales service you expect.”
