Polaris Appoints Burdens Group As Commercial Dealer
Lincolnshire’s Burdens Group is the latest to join the rapidly expanding networks of Polaris dealers and Polaris Commercial dealers in the UK.
“The Burdens Group is a perfect partner for Polaris,” says Steve Canner, Polaris’ District Manager.
Within a matter of weeks the company sold two ATVs and a Polaris Ranger, getting things off to a flying start. Operating the Polaris dealership from strategically placed premises in North Kyme, Burdens also have premises at Wrangle, a head office at Sutterton and a dedicated hire facility, Turfleet Hire, based in Berkshire.
They are selling the full Polaris range with their specialist approach to agriculture, groundcare, horticulture, produce handling, construction and hire; the latter covering both agricultural and groundcare.
“We’re ideally positioned to meet the needs of operators in each of these sectors,” says John Southern, Burdens’ Managing Director and Dealer Principal. “There are tremendous growth opportunities for the commercial Polaris products in particular, through both sales and our very large hire business in Berkshire.”
Burdens see the Polaris Brutus and the electric 4×4 EV as well as the new GEM electric utility vehicles meeting the requirements of many existing customers. Local Authorities, campuses and industrial units are part of their core business, in fact any area with large amounts of concrete to maintain and needing sweeping, snow clearance and general utility work.
The Polaris Brutus, they say, fits ideally into these areas as well as long term Contract Hire and seasonal work. Premises that are very environmentally aware, such as hospital sites where work continues late at night and very early in the morning, with laundry deliveries for example, will benefit from using the EVs for ‘no noise’ levels and no diesel fumes.
The Polaris appointment brings a full portfolio of groundcare machines to Burdens and they pride themselves on their after sales service and support. Sales and servicing will operate at North Kyme covering Lincolnshire through the Groundcare Division and on the commercial side they will cover the whole of Lincolnshire, west towards Nottingham, Rutland across to the Wash, North Cambridgeshire and the north of Norfolk.
“The Burdens Group is a perfect partner for Polaris,” adds Steve Canner, Polaris’ District Manager. “They have established their excellent reputation from their professional approach to sales and service and they deliver to their customers.
“They share our passion for innovation and our vision for growth into new sectors. We have already established a good relationship and I look forward to working with John, Shaun and the rest of the team.”
