The Blakey Brothers Visit APSV at the Great Yorkshire Show

July 15, 2026/in Blog & Update

We were delighted to welcome The Blakey Brothers to the APSV stand at this year’s Great Yorkshire Show, where they caught up with Fred to talk all things Avant compact loaders. The Great Yorkshire Show is one of the UK’s leading agricultural events, attracting thousands of visitors and exhibitors from across the farming and rural industries each year.

During the interview, Fred shared why Avant loaders have become a popular choice across agriculture, landscaping, equestrian, construction and grounds maintenance. With their impressive versatility, compact design and extensive range of over 200 attachments, Avant machines continue to provide practical solutions for businesses looking to maximise productivity.

A big thank you to The Blakey Brothers for stopping by the stand. It was a pleasure to showcase the Avant range and chat about what makes these machines such a valuable investment for so many industries.

If you missed us at the show, don’t worry, you can still discover the full Avant range by contacting the APSV team, who will be happy to discuss your requirements and arrange a demonstration.
