GGR entered the telehandler market in 2020, having seen the Faresin 6.26 Full Electric at Bauma, and has gone on to offer the full diesel and electric range, which now includes the ‘Big Range Full it has since extended the range it offers to include the 14 metre 14.42 along with the 17.40 and 17.45 17 metre models.

Speaking of his new role Baxendale said: “It is exciting to be involved with products that are cutting through and challenging the status quo within the industry. I have had my eye on the Faresin telehandlers for some time, especially since they appeared to burst on to the scene from nowhere back in 2020 with their six metre electric. Having visited the factory in Italy and spending time with the Faresin team including the Faresin family who were very hospitable and made me feel very welcome, I can confirm that they have the heritage, infrastructure and capability to make huge waves in the market with their telehandler products.”

Marketing director Daniel Ezzatvar added: “Gareth joins us at a time where we are coming to the market with the next wave of innovation. These products have become established over the past couple of years, and we are now gearing up for growth with the appointment of key personnel and a focus on service and support.”
