The recent acquisition of a comprehensive machinery fleet at Links Golf Club in Cambridgeshire from George Browns Limited underscores the significance of strong professional relationships. The delivery includes a fairway mower, two Baroness greens mowers, a Kubota L-1452 compact tractor, and a G-261LD ride-on mower, marking a notable milestone for the Newmarket-based course. Head Greenkeeper Simon Corrigan attributes the success of this deal to the outstanding service and support provided by the George Browns Area Sales Manager.
With five years of overseeing the maintenance of the 18-hole heathland course, Simon Corrigan and his team have historically maintained loyalty to specific brands. However, an encounter with Will Montgomerie from George Browns approximately 18 months ago presented an opportunity to explore new options. Simon notes, “Historically we’ve been quite loyal to certain brands and, like most clubs, we’ll hold onto them for a good number of years” he explains. “We had a visit from Will Montgomerie of George Browns approximately 18 months ago and it was at a time where I was looking at new machines and open to trying different makes and models.”
The delivered fleet in August 2023 includes an LM551 fairway mower and two LM315 triple greens mowers from Baroness, a Kubota L-1452 compact tractor, and a G-261LD ride-on mower. Simon highlights the appeal of Baroness mowers, stating, “Right from the start of the process, George Browns were proactive in working with me to find solutions that would work on our site. They brought lots of equipment in for us to try meaning that, by the time we made our decision, we could be confident that we’d thoroughly explored all of the options.” Simon continues, “The package was competitively priced and delivery times were good which was another big plus.”
Simon expresses his satisfaction with the service received from George Browns over the past two years. “From bringing in all the various demonstrator units, through to answering our many questions before and after delivery, nothing has been too much trouble. We received service and spare parts packages from Baroness to keep the mowers in top-flight condition, while George Browns will continue to support us and work with us on regular servicing on the Kubota products through the ‘Kubota Care’ five-year warranty scheme. It’s been slick and simple, and we couldn’t be happier”
To ensure the longevity of the fleet, service and spare parts packages from Baroness have been provided, while George Browns will continue to support the club through the ‘Kubota Care’ five-year warranty scheme, ensuring a seamless and efficient partnership.
The collaboration between Links Golf Club and George Browns Limited exemplifies the success that can be achieved through a combination of exceptional service, competitive pricing, and thorough exploration of available options.
