Located at the bottom of Gate 2 hill at site V20, with a blue and red site that was hard to miss with its polished machinery, eye-catching signage and dapper-looking team, sat the 2023 winner of the Fieldays Supreme Site award, Power Farming.
The judge’s assessment was based on agri-machinery exhibitor Power Farming going above and beyond to provide an exceptional user experience for visitors to their site.
Judges also measured its overall attractiveness, innovative site design, recognisable branding and a clear focus on customer service.
This year marks a significant milestone for Power Farming as it celebrates its 75th year in business, with an exhibit at Fieldays for 53 of those years.
The entire team sported workwear in the style worn by their predecessors, emphasising the company’s rich history.
David Natzke, key accounts and sales manager and co-ordinator of the Fieldays Site Awards, said it was great to see that the entire site had been designed around the history and story of the three-generation family business and its loyal customer base.
CEO Tom Ruddenklau emphasised how important tradition is to the company.
“Hosting and celebrating our customer base with good old-fashioned authentic hospitality was at the forefront of every decision made about the site build, “ he said.
