EGO’S debut single-sided pro hedge trimmer

The HTX7500S features a 75cm single-sided blade, which significantly lowers the overall tool weight to just 3.5kg without a battery. In addition to the benefit of reducing user fatigue, this strong and well-balanced machine helps users achieve longer, straighter cuts in both horizontal and vertical use.

Dual-action, triple-sharpened blades pair with a blade gap of 30mm, ensuring precise and efficient cutting for dealing with fresh growth as well as thicker, well-established branches. For even greater control, EGO has incorporated a digital three-speed selector with a variable trigger to help users optimise the cut during precision pruning or large-scale clearing tasks. Meanwhile, a helpful debris scoop sweeps clippings away from the hedge to ensure a tidy finish, healthier hedges and a reduction in clear-up time.

For simple tool care and maintenance, the hedge trimmer also features a handy blade alignment screw to make cleaning and sharpening easier, resulting in smoother cutting and minimising excessive vibration and strain, which can lead to damage. The tool is also fitted with a magnesium alloy gearbox with a convenient lubrication point.

Crucially, like all PRO X tools, EGO has also integrated Bluetooth connectivity to assist with tool and charging management via the EGO Connect and EGO Fleet apps. Here, grounds managers can complete over-the-air product and software improvements and manage charging schedules. And, like all tools in the EGO range, the HTX7500S uses the same 56V battery system, ensuring cross-compatibility with other tools in the range.

Neil McGuinness, OPE Product Development Manager at EGO, said: “Our PRO X series has been designed for professional grounds teams and local authorities, helping them to switch to battery technology while still achieving a full day’s work. Our innovative overnight and on-site charging system keeps crews productive across large estates or dispersed sites, while helping to improve the experience of green space users through quieter operation and cleaner air.

“With the HTX7500S, we’ve focused on the practical demands of commercial hedge cutting; long periods of use, consistent cut quality and reduced physical strain. The lightweight, ergonomic design and single-sided blade give operators the control and precision they need to deliver clean, straight finishes all day, while minimising fatigue and downtime on demanding maintenance schedules.”

Origin Green-tech celebrates four 20-year milestones

Four members of the Origin Green-tech team are celebrating an impressive 20 years with the business this year, marking two decades of commitment, development and contribution to the company.

Origin Green-tech celebrates four 20-year milestones

Andrea Questari, Dean Jackson, Elaine Yates and Richard Wexham have each played an important part in the growth and development of the business since joining Green-tech, which began life in farm buildings in the village of Nun Monkton.

Twenty years on, the business has grown considerably, but the contribution of its people remains at the heart of its success.

Andrea joined Green-tech as a Technical Sales Advisor and was promoted to Sales Manager after three years. He is now Category Manager – Growing Media & Nutrients, responsible for developing and growing the category, working closely with suppliers, sales teams and customers to deliver growth.

His role includes identifying new opportunities, bringing innovative products to market, providing technical support and ensuring Origin Green-tech offers the right solutions to meet customer needs, while improving sales, margin and market share.

Andrea comments: “The people are what make Green-tech special for me. We have a collaborative culture where people genuinely care about one another and work together to achieve shared goals. The relationships I’ve developed over the years are a big part of why I enjoy working here.”

Dean joined the company as a Sales Office Administrator and has progressed through an impressive eight roles, from sales and technical positions to his current role as Commercial Manager.

Today, Dean oversees the Customer Service, Specification, Ecommerce and Systems teams, as well as using company data to identify opportunities, improve processes and support commercial growth.

Dean adds: “The people make the business. We have had some amazing people work here over the years and we have a great team. Everyone involved in the business has played a part in getting Origin Green-tech to where it is today.”

Elaine joined the company as an Operations Administrator. Since then, she has enjoyed four promotions to her current position as Operations and Logistics Manager. She is responsible for the day-to-day inbound and outbound stock movements across the business, helping to ensure products continue to move efficiently through the operation.

Reflecting on two decades with Green-tech, Elaine comments: “The people and the friendships gained have been a big part of my time here. We have worked on some high-profile jobs together as a team, which always gives the company a real feel-good buzz and a rewarding sense of achievement.”

Richard joined as a Technical Sales Advisor and went on to become Product Specification Manager before moving into his current role as Pipeline Support Manager.

Richard operates at the intersection of landscape design and practical delivery, helping landscape architects, engineers and developers translate complex design intent into robust, sustainable and buildable solutions.

He reflects, “I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved over the past 20 years. Throughout that time, the people I’ve worked alongside have become much more than colleagues or friends, they have become like family. Being part of our shared journey and success has been a privilege.”

Mark Andrews, Managing Director at Origin Green-tech, said: “Twenty years is a fantastic achievement, and I’m delighted to recognise Andrea, Dean, Elaine and Richard for their commitment to the business. Each of them has made a significant contribution over the years, and it’s great to see how their roles and careers have developed alongside the company. Their knowledge, experience and contribution are valued, and I’m looking forward to celebrating their achievement with them over lunch.”

The four employees’ 20-year milestones provide a reminder of how much the business has evolved since its early days operating from farm buildings in Nun Monkton. From those beginnings the company has grown into Origin Green-tech, a specialist supplier of sustainable land management solutions, serving customers across landscaping, forestry, farms and estates, the built environment and gardening.

While the business continues to evolve, the knowledge, experience and commitment of long-serving employees such as Andrea, Dean, Elaine and Richard remain an important part of its continued success.
