Northern Ireland based turf machinery company, Groundsman Industries, has signed up to exhibit at Creating Landscapes at Capel Manor on October 25-26 this 2011.
This is especially pleasing for me because I've got first hand experience with using their kit - which I have to say, is of the highest quality and robustness.
As a qualified greenkeeper, I provided through my company, extensive domestic lawn care and commercial turf maintenance services and when we acquired a the 460SDR aerator, our earning capabilities spiralled.
I'm convinced that commercial turf care equipment suppliers are missing out on a great deal of business in the domestic lawn market and I hope, with Groundsman becoming involved, that this area of the market will start to change. Certainly from a garden maintenance contractor's viewpoint, having a spiking unit in the tool armoury can create many opportunities for extra revenue during the autumn/winter months when general garden dormancy otherwise restricts revenue generating operations.
I spoke to Billy Warke this morning and he said to me: " As you already know, Groundsman Industries specialise in the manufacture of a range professional turf cutters and aerator machines for the sports turf industry but have models which are ideal for landscape and garden use.
"Creating Landscapes seems like the ideal opportunity to introduce these machine to that market and particularly to be able to demonstrate their capabilities."
Groundsman Industries will be bringing their 345HD and 460SDR pedestrian turf aerators as well as their turf multi cutter machine.
Look out for more news in the next few days and if you believe that your company could benefit from getting in front of a growing membership of landscape and garden professionals then please get in touch.
