Balmers GM has been appointed as a main dealer for Ransomes Jacobsen and Cushman, part of the globally respected Textron Group. This strategic expansion marks a significant development for professional turf care across the North of England - bringing renewed visibility and access to premium, British‑built turf machinery.
A British Manufacturing Legacy Reintroduced to the Region
Ransomes Jacobsen equipment - manufactured in the UK and recognised worldwide, has long been synonymous with engineering pedigree, ingenuity, and the signature Jake finish that sets the benchmark for professional turf presentation. However, in recent years, many turf professionals across the North have had limited opportunity to see, demonstrate, or evaluate the latest Jacobsen innovations - with Balmers GM’s expanded territory, that gap is now firmly closed.
Turf managers, golf courses, local authorities, and sports venues will once again benefit from hands‑on demonstrations, expert product guidance, and full access to the complete Ransomes Jacobsen portfolio. Balmers GM has strengthened its offering with a dedicated team of specialist Golf and Commercial Sales Representatives, each bringing extensive industry experience and deep product knowledge.
Exceptional Cut Quality and Strong Professional Feedback
Early demonstrations across the region have generated outstanding feedback. Turf professionals consistently highlight the exceptional cut quality, precision of finish, and robust build standards delivered by the Jacobsen and Ransomes ranges. From fine‑turf cylinder mowers to high‑performance rotary and flail solutions, the machines have been exceptionally well received.
Andrew Meeks, Group Sales Manager at Balmers GM, commented:
“Ransomes Jacobsen has a heritage that means something in this industry. The build quality, the engineering, and the finish these machines deliver is genuinely impressive.
What’s exciting is that many professionals in our region haven’t seen Jacobsen equipment in years – and the reaction when they do is fantastic.
We’re proud to represent a British‑built brand with such pedigree, and we’re already seeing strong interest from turf managers who want performance they can trust.
The Ransomes range speaks for itself—engineered for demanding commercial environments, particularly the MP653. But the standout for me has been the EliTE battery range of Jacobsen products.”
Strengthening Professional Turf Care Across an Expanded Territory
With dedicated sales, service, and demonstration teams now supporting a significantly wider region, Balmers GM is committed to ensuring turf professionals have access to the machinery, expertise, and aftersales support required to achieve exceptional results.
This dealership appointment reinforces Balmers GM’s position as one of the UK’s leading groundcare machinery specialists and marks an exciting new chapter for Ransomes Jacobsen across the North of England.
