Pellenc makes light work for Bedford Estates

Jo Desborough, Head Gardener for The Bedford Estates, believes that a range of Pellenc battery-powered equipment is proving to be powerful, reliable, and extremely comfortable to work with.

The Bedford Estates is the largest private landowner in the Bloomsbury area of London and manages a varied portfolio of properties. These range from office and educational premises, hotels, restaurants, and retail premises to residential properties, lock up garages and formal garden squares.

Jo, who oversees The Bedford Estates landscaping team, provided some reasons behind choosing to go down the battery-powered route.

"We've chosen battery-powered products for nearly all our major maintenance equipment because it's more sustainable. It's easier for us to use batteries and recharge than it is to go and get petrol and all the associated issues with keeping fuel storage. They don't smell, there are no fumes, which is another important issue in the city, and then there is the noise aspect because we have a lot of residents that we don't want to disturb with loud machinery.

For all these reasons, we chose Pellenc."

Over recent years, Pellenc has gained market recognition by offering a unique range of 'zero emission' battery-powered tools, thanks to the development of Lithium-ion ultra-high-performance batteries.

The extensive Pellenc product range features an impressive portfolio - from chainsaws, pole saws and hedge cutters to grass strimmers, brushcutters, blowers and mowers; many of which have been helping the team at The Bedford Estates, as Jo explained.

"We've tried other brands before Pellenc, but we have found that Pellenc's interchangeable batteries makes it easy for us to switch between different products. It's more efficient for us to use an entire brand across the series.

"The batteries last an incredibly long time, all day in fact, and we don't have to continually charge them. There certainly aren't any issues in power; the lawnmowers handle whatever we throw at them, the leaf-blowers are equal to petrol ones, and I like the fact that you've got different levels so you can choose to be gentle or very powerful. The strimmers cut through all the things you might want them to and the same goes for the hedge cutters. Having the battery on your back, as opposed to a fuel tank attached to the equipment is a huge advantage. It's made lighter work for us, that's for sure."

Jo also added that the support she has received from her Etesia dealer, RT Machinery, has been invaluable.

"They have always supplied us with our machinery and have helped us to make the right decisions for various bits of equipment that we use. They offer a very good after sales service and are always answering any queries that we have. They have been invaluable in us maintaining our machinery."
