STIHL’s plans for new HQ

December 15, 2021/in News, Press Release/by Hannah Clarke

STIHL’s plans for new HQ: STIHL GB has unveiled plans to build a new 11,500m²purpose-designed headquarters and state-of-the-art warehouse facility near to its current premises in Camberley, Surrey.

Due for completion in December 2022, the site will be home to nearly 100 employees and will boast dedicated dealer training facilities, an on-site restaurant, flexible collaborative workspaces and a technical workshop.

STIHL’s plans for new HQ

The new 9,000m² warehouse space will utilise state-of-the-art picking and storage systems to maximise productivity, efficiency and the use of space. All logistics will now be consolidated onto one site, meaning a speedier and more efficient delivery service to the 700 strong STIHL dealer network.

Kay Green, Managing Director of STIHL GB, commented: “STIHL has enjoyed a sustained period of growth in recent years, and as a consequence we have outgrown our existing warehouse and office facilities. Our new purpose-built headquarters represents a significant capital investment and is a commitment to the future for our dealers and end user customers. We’re looking forward to seeing work get underway on the construction of our new premises early in the New Year”.

The new HQ, which secured planning permission last year, boasts first class environmental credentials including BREEAM Certification, the world’s leading sustainability assessment method for building projects.

It is proposed that two-thirds of the total roof area (1600m²) will be covered with photovoltaic solar panels to provide power to the new facility. In addition, there will be provision for 26 EV charging points in anticipation of the continued move towards the use of electric vehicles.

The new headquarters will also be connected to Blackwater railway station by a dedicated cycle path and will feature landscaped gardens with native shrubs and trees and a wildflower meadow which forms part of an integrated flood risk mitigation zone on the former Thames Water Utilities site.

The company aims to relocate to the new facility from its current premises in Stanhope Road in January 2023.

Two services in the spotlight

December 15, 2021/in News, Press Release/by Lucy Nicholls

Two services in the spotlight: At BTME 2022 Agrovista Amenity will showcase two unique services – the online Agrovista Amenity Academy and the all-new AgronomyReports.

The show, which takes place at Harrogate Convention Centre from 23 to 27 January 2022, will be a great opportunity for visitors to find out about all the exciting developments that have taken place in the past two years since the last BTME.

Two services in the spotlight

Located in the Blue Zone on stand 164, there will be a particular spotlight on two of the company’s informative services.

The Agrovista Amenity Academy, which is free to sign-up to, provides in-depth knowledge on Agrovista Amenity’s market leading products (Product courses), as well as a wide range of areas in turf management such as turf disease, chemical, product application, seed and turf pests (Knowledge courses).

The Product courses have been designed so that the individual can fully understand and get maximum benefits from the products they purchase. With product and knowledge courses being added on a regular basis, Academy students are guaranteed to have a wide variety to choose from.

The Academy has already shown significant growth with over 9,000 CPD points awarded so far. Furthermore, many greenkeepers and course managers are benefitting from a CPD partnership with BIGGA, which enables BIGGA’s members to embark on any course they choose without having to go through an employer.

Alongside the Academy, the company will also be demonstrating its unique new soil analysis service called AgronomyReports, which features adaptable nutrition programmes supported by real time weather reports. This incredible new service will ensure that customers have all the information they need to make valuable decisions and help them to use the right products at the right time.

Agrovista Amenity will have a presence at BIGGA’s Continue to Learn education programme. Presented by Jonathan Telfer, Business Manager at Lancrop Laboratories on behalf of Agrovista Amenity, the seminar will provide a deeper look into soil as a chemical, physical and biological system, with one eye on the future regarding legislation and restrictions.

Jonathan will be delving further into his own experience of using AgronomyReports and will be explaining in more detail how it could be of huge benefit to many turf managers.

The Agrovista Amenity team will be out in force and will be on hand to discuss and advise on any individual requirements.
