Dealers winning streak
DEALERS WINNING STREAK
By Jane Undery
Six lucky Etesia dealers from the UK will be winging their way off to sunnier climes this winter. They are all winners of a fantastic one-week trip to the Land of the Rising Sun - a once-in-a-lifetime prize offered by Etesia in their Attila Sales Competition run during 2003.
With a total of twenty places on offer, entry was open to all Etesia outlets across the whole of Europe. In announcing the winners at SALTEX, Etesia's managing director, Patrick Vives said, "Competition has been fierce, so I am delighted that so many dealers from the UK have responded to the challenge and won a chance to visit Japan. Their achievements reflect the increasing success of Attila ride-on and pedestrian brushcutters in this country."
UK dealers joining Etesia's party when they visit Japan are:
Burrows Grass Machinery Ltd (Stafford)
Burrows Grass Machinery Ltd (Leyland)
Cyril Johnston & Co Ltd (Belfast)
Radmore & Tucker Ltd (Exeter)
Charles H Hill (Lincoln)
Arthur Ibbett Ltd (St Neots)
The fabulous itinerary includes sight-seeing and experiencing traditional Japanese hospitality, as well as making a visit to the Oreq and Kawasaki factories.
