Grasshopper ‘Built To Last’ awards were presented to Chris Shipp, owner of Shipp Shape Lawn Service in Sylvester, Ga., and Rodney Miles, owner of Miles Mowing & Lawn Care in Portland, Ind. during a special ceremony hosted by Grasshopper at the GIE+EXPO 2013. Grasshopper’s ‘Built To Last’ award recognizes landscape contractors who have used Grasshopper equipment as the centerpiece of their business growth and have been especially loyal to the brand.
Shipp and Miles were selected for their dedication to the Grasshopper brand by owning a total of 47 Grasshopper mowers over a combined 37 years of business. Shipp has owned 14 Grasshopper mowers over 20 years, and Miles has owned 33 over 17 years of business. Both companies also utilize various Grasshopper implements and attachments, with plans to purchase additional Grasshopper equipment in 2014. In addition, both men have built strong businesses on the foundation of delivering superior customer service and providing lasting value to their customers.
“As a company, we understand that we would not be here if it were not for the individuals and businesses that purchase and use our equipment,” says Trent Guyer, marketing coordinator at Grasshopper. “The ‘Built To Last’ award recognizes our loyal customers and celebrates their accomplishments in the lawn care industry. We are proud to present this award to Chris and Rodney and welcome them into this exclusive club.”
