Reesink Hydro-Scapes make key appointment: In a period of sustained expansion, Reesink Hydro-Scapes has created a role to strengthen the sale and technical support provided to its water related customers.

Adam Moss joins the team as the new Sales and Technical Support Representative, covering the south of the UK and Channel Islands.

He brings with him the perfect blend of experience. He’s got practical experience from working in a turfcare role: 21 years in total as First Assistant Greenkeeper at Evesham Golf Club, Deputy Head Greenkeeper at Blackwell Golf Club and Course Manager at Henley Golf Club giving him awareness of the realities of the job, a detailed understanding of the industry and a passion for turf management.

In these roles, Adam used Toro irrigation equipment and machinery, so he is familiar with not only the products he will be working and supporting customers with, but also with Reesink as Toro’s UK distributor.

Adam explains: “I can speak from experience when it comes to helping new and existing customers with the irrigation issues they face. I will be able to help problem solve and find solutions. Whether it is the pressures of the weather, budget issues, technical problems, or additional support, the chances are I faced the same, or a similar, situation.”

Adam’s last role before joining Reesink was in a turfcare sales role which will certainly aid him in building strong relationships and identifying new business opportunities for Reesink.

Robert Jackson, Reesink Hydro-Scapes Division Manager, says: “We understand the water business is specialist and the products require specific training to get the best out of them. We were waiting for the right person to demonstrate the qualities required to understand the customer’s requirements on a practical level and provide the necessary help and support, as well as develop and retain relationships with existing and new customers. Adam, with his expertise and industry insight, is that person.”

And if all that wasn’t enough Adam is a keen golfer so knows what constitutes to good playing conditions in real life – he has a handicap of four! So, whether you’re diving into the world of sprinkler systems for the first time or navigating water management software, Adam is available for a chat to help make the right decisions regarding water requirements such as precision control and reliability.

“The time is certainly now for everyone in the golf course industry to be evaluating their water usage and supply against the backdrop of the changes in weather and the strain on older systems,” Adam concludes. “I’m really excited about the prospect of starting customers on their journey towards water sustainability and best practise and being there every step of the way.”

For those wishing to start a conversation about irrigation in the south of the UK and Channel Islands can contact Adam, while Pete Newton can be contacted by those in the north of the UK, by calling Reesink Hydro-Scapes on 01480 226800, emailing info@reesinkturfcare.co.uk or visiting reesinkhydro-scapes.co.uk.

First Cricket Edition Of Schools Into Stadia

July 11, 2025/in Events, News, Press Release/by Admin

First Cricket Edition Of Schools Into Stadia: The Grounds Management Association’s (GMA) NextGen group bowled over students at Lord’s Cricket Ground on Friday 27 June, as the Schools Into Stadia initiative delivered its first ever cricket-focused edition.

Local school students were offered a rare behind the scenes look at one of the world’s most iconic sporting venues, whilst getting a hands-on introduction to the world of grounds management – a profession that plays a vital yet often overlooked role in sport.

The students got stuck in with practical activities led by the Lord’s grounds team, learning how to prepare a pitch and apply turf care techniques used at the highest level of the game.

They also had the unique opportunity to hear from industry professionals about their career journeys, gaining real insight into the skills and science that make sport possible.

Jack Langley, GMA NextGen Co-Chair, said: “Giving people an opportunity to come into professional venues in the first place is key. It’s great to show off what we’re doing and show the students that this career is a great opportunity.

“It’s second to none being outside, working outdoors, meeting people, learning science of the grass.”

The Schools Into Stadia initiative, supported by GMA NextGen sponsor Reesink UK, has now reached students at top-tier venues including Wimbledon’s All England Club, Anfield Stadium, Goodison Park and Ashton Gate.

Meg Lay, GMA NextGen Co-Chair and Groundsperson at Lord’s, said: “If you want to be out in the middle of an iconic venue like Lord’s or the Emirates, Anfield, Wembley, wherever it may be, there’s only a few ways you can do that – one of those is playing, you might be a coach, or you’re cutting the grass.

“We’re bumping shoulders with some of the biggest athletes in the world every day and it’s one of the only ways you can do it.”

With under 35 representation now on the rise in grounds management, initiatives like this are helping to future-proof the industry, making sure young people know that careers in grounds management are not only possible, but exciting and vital to sport at every level.

Gillian Haverson, Marketing & Communications Manager at Reesink UK, said: “The fact the students have been able to walk out onto the playing surface and see the place where in two weeks’ time, England will play a test match, is incredible. They’ve been able to do the pitch tests themselves, and I think that practical element is crucial for young people because they really get something out of that. It gets them thinking what the role of a groundsperson actually entails so it’s been very valuable.”
