LAMMA 2014 PREVIEW
NEW HEADLINE SPONSOR AND
NEW VENUE FOR LAMMA 2014
AGRIBANK, launched earlier this
year, is headline sponsor for Lamma
2014, which will take place on 22
and 23 January in its new location
at the East of England showground,
Peterborough.
The bank, headed by Frank Sekula and
Matthew Smart, who are also involved
in farming, provides agricultural asset
finance.
Mr Sekula said: “Although the AgriBank
name is relatively new, the reality is our
team has been providing these services
for many years through ECF. Lamma will
present a great opportunity to re-connect
with existing and new customers and put
the AgriBank name firmly on the map.”
Celebrating its 33rd anniversary in
2014, LAMMA has developed from a local
show with just 50 exhibitors and 2,500
visitors, to become the UK’s largest farm
machinery, equipment and agricultural
services show in the UK. In 2013 the
show boasted nearly 800 exhibitors and
attracted in excess of 40,000 visitors
from the UK and overseas, reinforcing
its reputation as the highlight in the
agricultural machinery calendar.
It is this success that decided the
show’s organisers to relocate for a third
time in its history, this time to the East
of England Showground, Peterborough.
Cliff Preston, LAMMA Event Director
says: “LAMMA prides itself on being the
UK’s leading farm machinery equipment
and services show and we are dedicated
to offering a show that can continue to
develop and provide both exhibitors and
visitors with the best possible experience.
After a lot of discussion and consultation
with the market, we’ve decided to make
the move to do exactly that.
“The new location is ideal as it will
both allow for the show’s growth and
will also help us to overcome many of
the challenges visitors and exhibitors
have highlighted – specifically by making
access easier for both exhibitors and
visitors. Despite the continued sucess and
growth, the show will be staying true to its
roots.
“Although the location is changing, the
fundamentals of the show most definitely
are not,” says Cliff. “We are committed
to preserve the unique heritage and the
friendly and informal atmosphere of the
LAMMA show. It remains, at its heart, an
easy and free to attend event for farmers
to see the latest agricultural machinery,
equipment and services from around the
world.
Open from 7.30am – 5.30pm on 22
January and 7.30 – 4.30pm on 23
January, free admission and parking.
Early bird breakfasts are on offer for
those arriving before 8am.
