In a move
to bring clarity and certainty to its distribution channel, Bailoy Irrigation
Control Systems has decided to bring the distribution of all its products in
the UK and Ireland in-house.
The move came into effect
from January 1 2018, meaning customers with GTI Gemini and Trident
products should contact Bailoy, rather than previous distributor Reesink
Turfcare, for spares, support and sales.
Adam
Lovejoy, Bailoy’s managing director, says: “We have enjoyed a productive
working relationship with Reesink and Toro for 25 years, but with recent
changes in product and service ranges for both companies it made sense to bring
the sales and support of our Gemini and Trident products in-house.
“We believe this move will end any uncertainty about who controls
the sales and support of the GTI range in particular. It means we can focus on
supporting and forging relationships with the contractors and dealers who sell
our products directly and that is something we are very much looking forward to
doing.”
The move mainly affects customers with the Toro-badged CDS
and SC3000, which, although labelled Toro in an exclusive distribution
agreement, were designed and manufactured by Bailoy. Those customers in
particular should now contact Bailoy direct for sales, support and technical
information, says Adam.
“For most
customers very little changes, but for those with Toro-badged CDS and SC3000
products or for those who don’t have an account with Bailoy, it’s a simple
phone call.”
And with a
comprehensive range of service and support options available, it’s a call that
will ensure the continuation of a reliable relationship for an efficient range
of products from Bailoy.
