Househam Expands Down Under After Signing up New Dealer

29th November 2022

Having had a presence in Australia for several years, Househam is expanding further in the antipodes after signing an agreement with a new dealer. 

TTMI (Traf Tractors and Machinery Industrial) originally started out as a Case and David Brown dealer and has four dealerships in Victoria and two in Tasmania.  

It now sells a wide range of new and used agricultural machinery and equipment, including Househam sprayers. 

Jason Henry, Dealer Principal TTMI said the decision to partner with Househam UK made a lot of sense. 

“The major areas for self-propelled sprayers are market gardens and vegetable growing areas, which is most of the areas covered by TTMI’s branches in Victoria and Tasmania,” explained Jason. 

“This allows us to sell and support Househam Sprayers in our regions, while also securing dealers throughout the rest of Australia and expanding into more broadacre cropping.” 

 

Househam’s Sales Manager Nick Snowden said it’s an exciting opportunity for the brand. 

“We’ve been gradually chipping away at the market in Australia, but this takes our expansion plans to the next level. TTMI is a big, well respected Case IH dealer and will be the sole importer for Househam sprayers in the country. 

“Their team came to visit us for a couple of weeks earlier in the year to get to know the products and undergo some training and we’ve just shipped a Harrier demonstrator machine to their dealership in Trafalgar, Victoria, so it’s all systems go! 

“We look forward to developing a long and fruitful relationship with TTMI and building our brand down under!” 

As well as the UK and Australia, Househam also has dealerships in New Zealand, South Africa, Austria, Finland, Latvia, Ukraine, Romania, Poland, Moldova, Serbia and Sweden.  

New Appointment at Househam to Drive Sales in Scotland

17th August 2022

In a drive to expand further into Scotland, we have appointed a new area sales manager based in Dundee.  

Tom Bannon has joined us following many years working in agricultural machinery sales and farming both in the UK and abroad.  

Tom Bannon new area sales manager for ScotlandMost recently he worked for Hamilton Ross Group in Perth and prior to this as a self-propelled crop sprayer operator on a large estate in Scotland, as well as in Australia and New Zealand.  

Explaining why he decided to work for Househam, Tom said he was impressed by the team’s commitment and passion for what they do. 

“The engineers are very enthusiastic and speak highly of the company – they take a lot of pride in their work, and this translates through to the product,” he said.   

“When they put so much effort into building the machines it gives you the confidence to go out and sell them.” 

Having driven many different brands Tom says he has a unique insight into the pros and cons of each brand and what makes Househam so unique.  

“Househam Sprayers offer a very well-equipped base machine, but they can also tailor-make them to meet the customer’s requirements,” said Tom. 

“If you want something in particular, they can design and build it which is great as everyone farms differently.” 

Although we have always sold machines to farmers and contractors in Scotland this is the first time we’ve had a dedicated area sales manager. Our team is also currently in talks with service partners covering the whole of Scotland to provide back-up and carry out any required warranty work.

Managing Director Robert Willey said Tom’s appointment is part of Househam’s ambitious expansion plans. 

“There’s a big market for self-propelled sprayers in Scotland and our machines will fit in very well there,” explained Robert.  

“They are well placed to compete with everything else on the market and having a dedicated team there will not only help us provide an even better service to our existing customers but also forge relationships with new ones. 

“We are always looking for new markets and opportunities to expand as part of our ambitious growth plans and Scotland offers a wealth of opportunities.”
