LAMMA 2020 37
• FEB/MAR 2020
“We doubled the stand space
from last year. It’s important to
be here as we are flying the flag
for a relative unknown in the
machinery market. We’ve seen a
lot of interest from dealers, and
end users that didn’t know the
machines existed.”
Andrew Bolan from loader
specialist Weidemann UK, said:
“It’s been a really, really suc-
cessful show for us and we’ve
been seeing dedicated farmers
and users – the right people.
Farmers do like to see and touch
things and talk to real people.
Next LAMMA we’d hope to at
least double the stand – it’s
onwards and upwards.”
Grimme UK’s Adam Johnson
said: “We’ve had a great show
this year – absolutely brilliant.
We’ve probably been busier
and had a really productive
time talking to drivers and key
decision makers as well.”
Tim Lowden of New Holland
said LAMMA provided a great
opportunity to show the com-
pany’s new implement range.
“We had some really good
feedback, some good quality
conversations and some serious
enquiries. It’s been a good show
and the mood has been gener-
ally positive.”
Warren Rivers-Scott from drill
and cultivator manufacturer
Bednar FMTsaid: “The show
has been fantastic. LAMMA is
our official UK launch and for a
brand that is new to the UK. The
support we’ve been given has
been unreal. Good comments,
good questions and a lot of
valuable leads.”
Colin McGregor who farms
in the Scottish Borders said:
“This is my first time at LAMMA
since Newark. I head good
reports about last year so
thought I had to come. It’s been
good – we have six operators
who have been down here
for two days, and they are
influencers – they’ve enjoyed
it and found it worthwhile. It’s
good to meet some of the key
people beyond the dealers
too, such as manufacturer’s
representatives.”
Steve Lowe, Buxton,
Derbyshire was looking for
information and dirty water and
slurry handling kit, as well as
parts and hydraulic equipment.
“It’s been very useful – I could
do with two days really. It’s a
much better venue and com-
fortable – you can stay on sites
a bit longer and have proper
conversations.”
Oliver Mackintosh who farms
in Yorkshire was impressed
with the show and the profes-
sional environment. “We get to
Agritechnica every two years
and LAMMA has become is a lot
more like that – it’s a lot better
inside than outside.”
LAMMA ’21 will take place at the
NEC, Birmingham, on Tuesday 12
and Wednesday 13 January 2021.
