Ipswich, Suffolk - June 9, 2010 - Bartram Professional, Ransomes Jacobsen’s dealer for Norfolk and Suffolk, recently held two Demonstration Days for customers and prospective customers in the golf and municipal sectors. Ransomes Jacobsen is a Textron Inc (NYSE: TXT) company.

More than 100 people attended the first day, held at the company’s head office at Eaton on the outskirts of Norwich and on the following day a similar number converged on Trinity Park in Ipswich. They were able to see the latest products from the many franchises that supported both events including Wiedenmann, Great Dane, Amazon, Lewis and Hardy.

Commenting at the close of the second day, Mark Bartram said, “The weather was bright and sunny in Norwich, but awful the following day in Ipswich, but we had an excellent turnout at both events. We were able to renew old acquaintances and had some really positive feedback from prospective customers. We had both of the latest mowers from Ransomes Jacobsen, the new Highway 3 for the municipal sector and the recently launched hybrid powered greens mower, the Eclipse 322, for the golf market. They generated a significant amount of interest as both machines feature some radical advances for each marketplace.”
