Yes , they have purchased new software to upgrade their video facilities , which means they can now edit in sound effects , use lighting effects etc and produce even more engaging videos , all in a refined studio area . So , given that Martyn and Colin are both salesmen , and like to sell and manage with a smile , who could they emulate / impersonate . Complete with yellow Robin Reliant , behold “ Del Boy ” Potts and “ Boysey ” Henderson and Rickerby Independent Trading Company ! Might not be West End stuff , but a great gimmick to help launch the Rickerby Virtual Show 2021 , celebrating 20 years of the Rickerby Show . |
The Virtual Show was to replace the usual two-day open event which could not take place this year . However , it will be back with a bang in 2022 as Boysey and Del Boy tell you in the video .
Rickerby have still succeeded in making March eventful as usual . There has been a 5-week sale from February to the 31st of March , stacked full of genuine deals that would normally be only available for the open event . Manufacturers have supported this with their own deals and promotional videos . Rickerby always have special
|
edition machines available , this year is no different with two CLAAS Axion 650 ’ s on offer , one in the original ” David Brown ” Orchid White and the other in the original “ Doc Marten ” maroon . The Rickerby in- house magazine has gone out to all customers with all the second hand and new specials in it , along with many testimonial quotes from satisfied Rickerby customers . Another staple of the Rickerby show , is the High-Quality Toy |
‘ Make yourself a plan for your machinery purchases in 2021 and theRickerby team will see it to fruition ’ Tractors that are always hotly sought after . This year it is the CLAAS Torion , just over 100 have been made and sold at £ 125 plus VAT , it shows how good they are . When I met with Martyn early in March , already the sales month was going well and there was a lot of interest in the two tractor specials . Salesman have been busier than ever visiting
farmers and talking to them on the phone discussing those all-important special deals . With all the manufacturers ’ contributions , the energy of the staff and the all-important videos , the spirit of the Rickerby Show and customer connection has been maintained .
