Rod Gaskin, the agricultural and ground care engineers serving the Hampshire and Sussex counties, are entering into a 1-season agreement as the association’s Official Supplier of Grounds Machinery in a 1-season deal.

The company was established back in 1994 with the vision of supplying top-end quality new and used agricultural and ground care equipment to customers across the counties of Hampshire and Sussex. With a team providing exceptional after-care support, the company is proud to work with a large network of grounds staff and individuals, catering to the diverse needs of their facilities. With two prominently located depots, the team is well-positioned and equipped to supply equipment throughout the South.

The team are proud to be Kubota Main Dealers and to also offer the complete range of Tractor, Groundcare, and Garden Machinery alongside the recently introduced Kubota Agricultural Implements. Additionally, they are the main dealers for well-known brands Amazone and McConnel. The sales team can offer quotations and demonstrations on any of the equipment as advertised on their site. Furthermore, both depots boast a well-stocked workshop with factory-trained Service Technicians on hand that can efficiently and competently repair machines the first time, round. The team can also carry out works and servicing on-site to minimise waiting periods for its customers.

The partnership with Rod Gaskin Ltd will serve our members by offering preferential rates on the supply of new machinery for Hampshire FA Clubs and associated groups.  Additionally, the team will be collaborating with Hampshire FA and its varied partners, to hold the next Grounds & Maintenance Forum on Wednesday 20^th March 2024 at Stoneham Lane Football Complex in Eastleigh. Details will be announced in August and will be open to local authorities and Hampshire FA members with a registered FAN.

“The Rod Gaskin brand is a well-known and respected provider for agricultural and ground care needs in our county. The company name has come up on several occasions, and more recently during our first pilot of the Grounds & Maintenance Forum held in March of this year as it was clear there was a gap in our commercial programme for these services. The idea of offering feedback to improve our services and offerings is essential and we have taken the time to listen and see what our members want and need. This service is one of them and we look forward to making the most of the season ahead, remaining hopeful as ever that this will stand to be a long-term commitment” Neil Cassar, Hampshire FA CEO.

“We are delighted to be working with Hampshire FA to promote the growth and development of grassroots clubs across the county.  We had a relationship with the association for some time and our renewed partnership will be beneficial to all parties.  We look forward to working with the Hampshire FA for many seasons to come and will continue to support with the supply of grounds machinery and maintenance across the South”. Tom Gaskin, Rod Gaskin LTD Director.
