BALMERS CHOOSE TO END JOHN DEERE RELATIONSHIP

After more than three decades of partnership, Balmers GM announced this week that they have made the strategic decision to conclude their turf equipment dealership agreement with John Deere.

Jo Balmer, group marketing & operations manager for the dealership with depots in Burnley and Wakefiled, said, "This marks the end of a significant chapter in our company’s history - one built on hard work, shared success, and the trust of thousands of customers across the region that we serve.

"Over the past 33 years, we have been proud to represent the John Deere brand and to support customers who rely on its products. We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who has been  part of that journey.

"We will continue to provide our full dealership services - sales, parts, service, and warranty support until the transition is complete, guaranteeing a smooth and uninterrupted experience  for all of our customers."

Following the decision to part with John Deere, Balmers have also announced a the start of a new chapter with Ransomes Jacobsen.

Jo continued, "As we look to the future, we are excited to announce that Balmers GM will continue serving the professional turf, golf, and groundcare sectors as authorised Ransomes Jacobsen dealers.

"This new partnership aligns with our long-term vision and allows us to offer a broader range of innovative turf solutions. Our customers, both long-standing and new can expect the same high standards of service, expertise, and support that have defined Balmers GM for over 45 years."

Balmers are promising their customers a full line-up of Ransomes Jacobsen turf and groundcare machinery; continued support from their experienced sales, service, and parts teams; a seamless transition with minimal disruption; and their same commitment to quality, reliability, and customer care.

Jo concluded, "Change brings opportunity. We’re extremely excited by this new direction and look forward to strengthening relationships across the turf industry as we enter this next phase."
