What a busy few months it has been for the Househam team as we’ve travelled the length and breadth of the UK exhibiting at some of the country’s biggest agricultural events.

Our show season began at Cereals 2026, which this year took place at the famous Diddly Squat Farm. While the weather certainly tested us with plenty of rain throughout the event, it didn’t dampen spirits. We were delighted to welcome so many visitors to our stand, catching up with existing customers and meeting plenty of new faces.

Our stand showcased the latest Househam sprayer range, demonstrating the innovation, technology and precision engineering that continue to drive our machines forward. Alongside our current models, we also displayed a classic Househam Sprint from the 1990s. It was fantastic to see so much interest in this iconic machine, serving as a reminder of how far sprayer technology has evolved over the years. From dependable mechanical systems to today’s advanced precision farming capabilities, innovation has always been at the heart of Househam, helping growers work more efficiently while maximising performance in the field.

Closer to home, we were proud to support our local agricultural community at the Lincolnshire Show, before heading north to Scotland for the Royal Highland Show in Edinburgh. Both events provided excellent opportunities to speak with farmers, contractors and industry professionals about the challenges and opportunities facing modern agriculture.

Our summer continued with the Driffield Show, where there was a familiar face on the stand as Barry came out of retirement for the day. It was wonderful to see him catching up with long-standing customers, farming friends and colleagues, sharing stories and reminiscing about the many years Househam has been supporting British farming. Moments like these are a reminder that while technology continues to evolve, the relationships we’ve built over generations remain just as important.

The show season isn’t over yet. We’ll be exhibiting at the Moreton-in-Marsh Show this September and look forward to welcoming visitors to our stand. Whether you’re interested in learning more about our latest sprayer technology or simply stopping by for a chat, we’d love to see you there.

Looking ahead, we’ll round off our exhibition calendar by returning to the LAMMA Show at the NEC in January 2027. As always, we’re excited to showcase what’s next for Househam and continue supporting farmers with innovative, British-built sprayers designed for the future of agriculture.

A huge thank you to everyone who has visited us throughout this year’s show season. Your continued support, feedback and conversations are what make these events so worthwhile, and we look forward to seeing many more of you at our remaining shows.

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.
