Oxfordshire County Council Snow Day at Deddington

Oxfordshire County Council hosted an open day for local councils to see what equipment is available for snow control in the county. Staged at Deddington, near Banbury on Saturday 8th October 2011, the attendance was good with lots of interest shown toward the snow ploughs and pedestrian gritters from Meyer and Kersten, shown on the Firs Garage stand. Viewers were impressed by the build quality and the lifetime guarantee on the pedestrian spreader’s transmission. In addition there was interest in the Kersten K 820 that can be used throughout the year with snowplough or sweeper attachments.

The next open day is at Abingdon.

Kersten machines at Tatton Park

The Autumn has got off to a bright start with Burrows annual exhibition in the grounds of Tatton Park, a jewel in the crown of National Trust properties.

Perhaps not as big as the Saltex exhibition it provides an opportunity for the North West to get together and display the ranges currently on offer.

Clive Park of Burrows explained, “We were pleased to invite customers from local authorities and utilities, golf and sports clubs, large national and small contractors, educational establishments and other professional users.

“The exhibition enabled customers to keep up to date with the extensive range of our equipment, and also to give them the opportunity to see “new” machines being introduced for 2012″
