Jeremy Clarkson praises Kirkland UK machinery
8th May 2024
The Kent-based berry harvester and machinery supplier, Kirkland UK, has been featured in season three of Clarkson’s Farm.
The fruit and vineyard machinery dealer specialises in labour-saving machinery, which is what initially caught the eye of Amazon producers.
Scott Worsley, managing director at Kirkland UK, said: ”We were approached by Amazon producers back in spring 2022 about our labour-saving machinery.
”The particular machine that caught their interest was the berry harvester.
”This machine can replace up to 200 pickers a day and is hugely popular with UK berry growers.”
It was a fun-filled day!
The episode in question focuses on reducing the cost for harvesting blackberries, and Jeremy was keen to try the demonstrator.
Mr Worsley continued: ”It was a fun-filled, full-on day! We were helping the crew load the harvester and explaining to Jeremy how the machine works.
”We are also thrilled to have the Antonio Carraro tracked MACH 4 shown on the popular TV series.
”Jeremy loved driving this machine, and said he wants one of his own!”
In other Clarkson related news, the former Grand Tour star is rumoured to be opening a pub in the Cotswolds, with a the Grade II-listed building set to be the spot.
Located in the picturesque village of Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire, it has recently been put on the market by Stonegate Pub Partners for a retail partnership tenancy.
The site neighbours the brewery that produces Clarkson’s Hawkstone Lager, using spring barley grown on his Diddly Squat Farm.
