New Reesink depot launches in Lossiemouth

New Reesink depot launches in Lossiemouth: Reesink UK expanded its presence in Scotland with the opening of a new depot in Lossiemouth this January, enhancing sales and aftersales support for customers in the area north of Aberdeen.

Operational since February, the Lossiemouth depot is now receiving daily deliveries and is fully staffed with Jim McKay, Area Sales Manager North, and Gordon Rodgers, a full-time engineer/mechanic.

Matching the product range of the Reesink Scotland Livingston branch, the depot sells leases primarily for Toro machinery. ReeAssure maintenance plans are available through the satellite branch, too.

Reesink Scotland Branch Manager Mike Turnbull runs the depot, drawing on over 25 years’ industry experience at Reesink UK and Toro Spellbrook. “I’m setting a clear trajectory for growth with the new depot, closely modelled on the operations down in Livingston,” Mike says. “This is a really exciting venture – I’m pleased Reesink UK and Toro let us expand our business to support the growing customer base.”

With Scotland hailed as the birthplace of golf and housing the world’s most prestigious clubs today, the core customers for the Lossiemouth depot certainly reflect this. It already services many of the country’s leading golf clubs, such as Cabot Highlands, Royal Dornoch Golf Club, and Nairn Golf Club, three long-term Toro machinery customers. The depot also works with a wide range of grounds clients, from municipalities and councils to contractors and sports fields.

Rather than a standard walk-in depot, customers can continue to contact Reesink Scotland in Livingston to enquire about prices or demos, buy a lease, or book a service, who will then connect them to the appropriate branch depending on their location.

The Lossiemouth depot currently stocks all the fast-moving genuine parts, and in most instances, when needed, can courier other parts from Livingston so they reach Lossiemouth by the next morning.

One of the main advantages of the new branch opening is reducing customer downtime. “We want to offer the same service we do at Livingston to customers further north, prioritising quicker call-out times,” Mike shares. “We can now have qualified people on the ground to help with equipment maintenance and repairs, cutting response time down from days to hours.”

The depot will be instrumental in broadening Reesink UK’s customer reach, Mike says: “Opening this depot is not only a business move – it’s a vital investment in our customers, as we can now more efficiently offer genuine parts, leases, maintenance service and support packages to our more northerly customers.”

To get in touch with the new depot, call 01506 300880, or email service.scotland@reesinkturfcare.co.uk for service, parts.scotland@reesinkturfcare.co.uk for genuine parts, and mike.turnbull@reesinkuk.co.uk for sales and other enquiries.

Water feature specialists reveal autumn maintenance steps: Waterscapes Ltd shares critical seasonal care guidelines as UK landscapes face debris and temperature challenges.

As autumn conditions intensify across the UK, water feature specialists are sharing essential maintenance steps to prevent costly winter damage and protect landscape infrastructure investments. The combination of falling leaves, dropping temperatures, and changing water chemistry creates unique challenges that demand immediate attention from facilities managers and landscape contractors.

“Autumn represents a critical transition period for water features,” said Ed Harwood, Maintenance Contracts Manager of water feature specialists Waterscapes Ltd. “Left unmanaged, this season’s combination of organic debris and cooling water can trigger equipment failures, structural damage, and costly water quality issues that become apparent too late to prevent.”

The guidance comes as property managers prepare outdoor spaces for winter, when inadequate seasonal maintenance can compromise valuable landscape amenities and lead to expensive emergency repairs.

Critical Autumn Challenges

According to Waterscapes, leaf fall presents the most immediate challenge for water features. Decomposing organic matter affects water quality, clogs filtration systems, and can damage pumps if left unmanaged. Physical barriers such as netting provide essential protection, but require regular inspection and clearing during peak leaf fall periods.

“Even small amounts of debris create problems when they settle and break down,” explains Ed. “Professional maintenance schedules typically increase frequency during autumn, with some features requiring attention several times weekly to prevent filtration system damage.”
