I also managed a brief chat with Mr Ripon Farm himself , Geoff Brown , quite one of the busiest people I know in the dealership business . Geoff was impressed with the show and pleased at the turnout . Geoff uses the open event to talk to as many customers as possible , I don ’ t think there isn ’ t anyone he doesn ’ t know !
I spotted one of Ripon ’ s higher profile customers Guy Martin there at the show with his family , very interesting and engaging chap , complete with short hair looking like he was just about to descend into an inspection pit , which knowing Guy he probably was when he got home .
I understand that Thursday was a busy day as well and the whole of the Ripon Team want to thank all those who supported and attended the event The team appreciate and enjoy having the time to speak to and catch up with many regular customers and new ones .
When I spoke to Geoff , I asked how the business had done during the challenging covid period . He said like
‘ Ripon Farm Services have been able
to maintain the highest quality of ongoing support to its customers ’
many agricultural business ’ s Ripon Farm has done well and managed to keep all depots open and accessible whilst adhering to all regulations . There have been a lot more on farm demonstrations and the most important part of all , Ripon Farm Services have been able to maintain the highest quality of ongoing support to its customers .
