Massey Ferguson, proud to celebrate their 175th anniversary in 2022, embarked on a UK tour of labelled “Born to Farm” events, taking the opportunity to showcase their full range of machinery, from tractors to hay implements. In Scotland, the Hamilton Ross Group was one of the chosen dealerships to organise two of these events – the latter one was hosted at the Donald Malcolm Heritage Centre in Linwood, Group Head Office of the Malcolm Group.
The choice of the venue boasted great significance, as similarly to the Hamilton Ross Group, the Malcolm Group is another successful family-run business embedded in the local community. On Thursday 24th November, the Heritage Centre was open to the public (upon invitation) from 1pm to 9pm. On display were a wide variety of machines – including the 5S Series, Winner of the Farm Machine 2023 Award at the SIMA Show, and the latest addition 8S Series, boasting an impressive 305HP and the new Dyna VT transmission system.
A steady flow of tractor enthusiasts came through the door, and overall we counted over 300 people. The full team of Sales Managers from the Hamilton Ross Group attended the event to provide expert advice to their customers, along with representation from the Service & Parts Departments. They also received the help of the Marketing & Sales Managers from Massey Ferguson, and additional support from partners AGCO Finance, ALO & Trelleborg.
There really was entertainment for every member of the family, and kids showed up in high numbers as the schools happened to be on strike – pedal tractors and trucks satisfied some of their curiosity, while the rest enjoyed the goody bags provided by Massey Ferguson (comprising of a bobble hat, a brochure and a keyring) and the adults got the chance to take the demo tractors out for a test drive in the car park.
The Home Cook School provided catering on the day, with a selection of pies, soup and cakes. There was also some mulled wine and mince pies to get everyone in the Christmas spirit in such cold weather! And the icing on the cake surely was the presence of a film crew appointed from Solo Creatives (a design agency based in Glasgow), who recorded the whole event and interviewed some of the key stakeholders. Stay tuned for the broadcast!
