It’s the time of year again where we pay homage to the humble potato! Actually it’s two years since the last  Harrogate show and we’re glad to be back!

Our trucks are highly suited to the challenging conditions faced by the potato industry and we’re on hand with our friends from Broadwater to talk attachments and more. Stop by and say hello!

This year’s show is bigger than ever with more visitors expected and the exhibition halls totally sold out.

The British Potato Council does a great job in raising awareness of something we often take for granted. Here’s some of our favourite facts:

• A quarter of all the potatoes that are grown in Britain are made into chips – that’s around 1.5 million tonnes each year
• It would take an area the size of 45,000 Wembley Stadium football pitches to grow all the potatoes needed for the chips eaten in Great Britain each year
• Just over 10% of the British potato crop is needed to supply our 10,500 chip shops – that’s about 422,600 tonnes
• Laid end to end, all the British potatoes that are turned into chips every year would stretch around the world a staggering 76 times
