And what better way to begin the New Year than with an appearance at the UK’s largest agricultural show? The 2018 staging of LAMMA at the East of England Showground in Peterborough is set to be the biggest yet, with more than 900 exhibitors and over 40,000 visitors from around the country and overseas expected to attend. Gibbons’ steel and aluminium grain conditioning fans and h otspot airspear fans will form the focal point of the company’s stand. Produced to the highest standards by an expert team, these fans have been used and trusted post-harvest by British farmers for many years. Ranging from 0.13 – 2.2kW, the robust, reliable fans are available as single phase and three phase in most sizes and can be customised to suit specific applications. In addition, Gibbons will be promoting its range of electrical and mechanical products for agricultural processes, including electric motors, gearboxes, pumps and control panels. The team will also be chatting to farmers about Gibbons’ extensive electrical services for farm buildings, such as wiring, mains power, socket outlets and lighting. With just two months until LAMMA ‘18, Gibbons Agricultural Fans Manager Josie Knight is looking forward to the company’s F www.farmingmonthly.co.uk debut appearance at the annual show: “We can’t wait to meet farmers from Britain and abroad to chat about the ups and downs of this year’s harvest and to see how we can help them going into 2018. “LAMMA offers us a great chance to show farmers not only our best-selling grain store fans but also our comprehensive range of agricultural products and services that can save them money and make their lives easier.” Meanwhile, Gibbons will also be promoting its official Agricultural Fans resellers at LAMMA, displaying a UK and Ireland map marked with approved distributor locations. Gibbons directs agricultural fans enquiries to the client’s local distributor, who then processes the order and dispatches the equipment. Official resellers enjoy prominent exposure at LAMMA and other high-profile events, as well as in trade publications and via Gibbons’ website, social media and other marketing activities. With resellers being steadily recruited, prospective distributors are being encouraged to claim their place on the map in plenty of time for the mid-January event.
