The Landmark 200th VGR TopChanger Sale at Whitecraigs

November 4, 2025/in News, Press Release/by Admin

The Landmark 200th VGR TopChanger Sale at Whitecraigs: Whitecraigs Golf Club, a spectacular 27 hole golf course in Newton Mearns, Scotland has marked a significant milestone as the recipient of the 200th VGR TopChanger.

Andy Wilson Course Manager at Whitecraigs, shared his enthusiasm for the new arrival: “We’re delighted to have the 200th TopChanger here at Whitecraigs. The XP has made a noticeable difference to our greens, allowing us to improve soil health with minimal disruption to play. It’s an invaluable addition to our maintenance program.”

The Landmark 200th VGR TopChanger Sale at Whitecraigs

The story of the VGR TopChanger began fifteen years ago, when VGR Equipment first set out to revolutionise soil care for sports turf. Based in Almkerk, the Netherlands, VGR has developed, produced, and assembled modular machinery used worldwide. Their commitment to ingenious design and sustainability has positioned VGR as a leader in efficient and eco-friendly turf maintenance solutions.

Since the launch of the XP model in 2023, sales have taken off, with over 60 units operating across the UK alone. The TopChanger XP stands out for its reliability, ease of operation, and ability to enhance soil quality while keeping golf play undisturbed. Its water-based aeration technology injects holes into the soil at high pressure, allowing the incorporation of soil-improving products, fertilizers, and sand, all in a single pass. This efficiency ensures sustainable soil conditions and stable, even playing surfaces for golfers.

“VGR’s ongoing dedication to healthy soil and better turf is reflected in their partnerships and comprehensive product range, with the goal of delivering the best possible playing experience for sports enthusiasts.” Said VGR Managing Director Ruud de Deugd. “The 200th TopChanger at Whitecraigs is not just a milestone, it’s a testament to VGR’s legacy of innovation and the trust placed in their solutions by leading clubs across the world.”

Lee Burton Joins Harrowden as Regional Sales Manager

November 4, 2025/in News, Press Release/by Admin

Lee Burton Joins Harrowden as Regional Sales Manager: Not content with a new website Harrowden has also recruited a new regional sales manager – for the Midlands to the West. In what Lee admits has been a whirlwind few months he has joined a new team, visited both Harrowden farms and seen sedum growing and on a green roof application.

His role is all about strengthening customer relationships whilst developing new ones along the way. That means regular communication through site visits, head office meetings, emails, and calls—whatever it takes to stay connected.

Lee brings extensive experience from the broader horticulture retail sector having held positions with Jewson, Wickes and most recently Huws Gray. Lee also brings a host of skills gained from more than twenty years in the business.

Lee reports into another Lee – Lee Andrew, and joins Chris Carr and Tony Clapcott as key members of the Harrowden sales team.

Lee B – as he is already known – is based in the Midlands so within easy reach of the region’s landscaping businesses:-

“I’ve spent nearly 30 years in building materials – I was ready for a change, and Harrowden really stood out. The passion, pride and strong team spirit felt like the perfect fit. It’s definitely different selling a live product compared to one that simply comes off the shelf!

The scale and detail of what we do is incredible—from maintaining big machinery to hand sowing seeds across multiple sites. It blows my mind… I’m convinced there’s some wizardry involved”.
