Richard Campey was sorry to see David depart. "During the past decade and a half, David has played a huge part in introducing new products and techniques to the groundscare and professionals in his are. We thank him for all of his efforts and contributions over the years. He has been an extremely valuable member of the team and we wish him a long and enjoyable retirement."

The two new members of staff have both come from the turf industry; Simon, 38 has gained significant experience in machinery sales during his time with a well-known agriculture and groundscare dealership in Nottinghamshire.

The new Product Specialists are joining one of Europe's largest independent grounds care machinery dealers. Steven and Simon will have the advantage of selling equipment from some of the most recognised grounds care machinery manufacturers including Dakota, Imants, Koro, Raycam, Vredo, Omarv, Votex, VGR and GT Air 2G2 injector.
