The JMC Parts sales team is led by Barry O’Driscoll, who has continued to build an expert team around him so it can deliver quickly and efficiently to all customers.

JMC believes in investing in stock. As John says, “you cannot sell something which you do not have”.

The focus of the business is to provide contractors with a quality service and competitive prices, along with expert knowledge from all staff members.

On the day, there was a number of suppliers in attendance who gave several talks and demonstrations. The UK & Ireland Grammer rep Simon Range spoke about the importance of sitting on a good seat, especially when this is your place of work for 10 to 12 hours per day. He also highlighted how people will often spend thousands on equipment, but will not service their seat.

Grammer also used the opportunity to launch a new seat on the Irish market. This seat has several new innovative features including a backrest that moves with the driver, which allows the driver to sit in more comfort, particularly when operating rear-mounted equipment.

Farmhand had the complete selection of Dromone hitches on display to suit all types of applications, including the new ball and spool-type hitch.

Patchwork GPS was also in attendance. This product is sold in Ireland by Robert O’Shea, who performed live demos on the day for potential customers.
