As another year draws to a close, all of us at Househam would like to take a moment to thank our customers, suppliers, service partners, and operators across the UK and beyond and wish you all and your families a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year. 

To give our team a well-earned break over the festive period, our offices and workshops will close on Tuesday 23rd December 2025. 

We will reopen at 8:00am on Monday 5th January 2026, when our full team will be back on hand to support you with: 

•  Service and parts 
• Technical assistance 
• Pre-season sprayer checks 
• New machine enquiries 
• Pre-owned and trade-in support 

During the closure period, urgent messages can be left via email or voicemail, and our team will respond as soon as operations resume. 

We know 2025 has been a particularly challenging year across the industry, and we want to extend our sincere thanks for your continued trust, partnership, and resilience. Here’s to a more promising and positive 2026 for everyone. 

 Thank you for being part of the Househam community, and we look forward to working with you again in 2026. 

After more than two decades of dedicated service, we say a very fond farewell to our colleague and friend, Barry Harness, as he retires from Househam.

Barry joined the company in 2002 as part of our Sales team and quickly made his mark with his professionalism, enthusiasm, and genuine care for customers. Over the years, he became a trusted and familiar face across our local county, Yorkshire and the North of England, building strong, lasting relationships that have been a cornerstone of Househam’s success.

As Area Sales Manager, Barry has been not only a reliable and knowledgeable point of contact for customers but also a loyal and much-valued member of our team. To many of us at Househam, Barry has truly been “part of the furniture,” and his presence, humour, and steady support will be deeply missed.

We would like to thank Barry for his outstanding contribution over the past 22 years. We wish him a very happy, healthy, and well-earned retirement — and we know he will remain a familiar friend to both colleagues and customers alike.

We are pleased to announce the promotion of two long-serving members of the Househam team into key leadership positions, effective 1 August 2025.

Andy Tingey has been appointed Head of Engineering & Production. Andy joined Househam in 2018 and has since played a pivotal role in advancing our engineering capabilities and supporting continuous improvement across our operations. In his new role, Andy will lead all engineering and production activities, ensuring we continue to meet the highest standards of quality, innovation, and efficiency.

Dean Eaton, who has been part of the Househam team since 2007, has been promoted to Finance & Operations Director. Dean brings extensive experience across both financial and operational functions, and a deep understanding of our business. In this expanded role, he will oversee the company’s financial health and operational performance, with a focus on strategic planning, financial governance, and supply chain efficiency.

Both Andy and Dean will continue to work closely with the Househam Board and Senior Management Team to help drive the business forward in alignment with our long-term strategic goals. Their promotions reflect Househam’s commitment to recognising internal talent and strengthening our leadership team with proven, trusted individuals.

Robert Willey, Managing Director, commented:

“I am delighted to see both Andy and Dean stepping into these important leadership roles. Their dedication, capability, and deep understanding of Househam make them ideally placed to help lead the business into its next phase of growth and innovation. I look forward to working alongside them and the wider leadership team as we continue to strengthen our position in the market and deliver for our customers and partners.”

As we continue to grow and innovate, we thank all our customers, suppliers, and stakeholders for your ongoing support.
