Barclays Premier League football club, Tottenham Hotspur, has signed an exclusive supply agreement with RANSOMES JACOBSEN, the Ipswich-based turf equipment manufacturer. Ransomes Jacobsen is a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company.

Under the terms of the agreement Ransomes Jacobsen will supply a wide range of turf maintenance equipment at both the White Hart Lane stadium and at the Spurs Lodge training ground in Chigwell.

Darren Baldwin, Grounds and Facilities Manager at the club said,
“We have taken delivery of two Jacobsen LF3800’s which we are using at Spurs Lodge and a Jacobsen TR3 for preparing the stadium pitch at White Hart Lane. They have been supplied by our local dealer, Ernest Doe, with whom we’ve had a very successful business relationship for many years and this was a significant reason behind the signing of this agreement. Excellent mowing equipment combined with exceptional service support is the key to any good partnership and that’s what we have here.”

Rupert Price, Ransomes Jacobsen’s UK and Ireland Sales Manager added,
“We’re absolutely delighted to have secured this agreement with Tottenham. Darren is very forthright in his comments about all aspects of groundsmanship, so to have him as an advocate of our equipment is very pleasing. I’m also highly delighted that the service levels from Ernest Doe were a factor in securing this deal; they are one of our flagship dealers, not only in the UK, but across Europe and this latest agreement reflects well on their organisation.”
