Maximise uptime with Toro’s MVP kits

July 7, 2025/in News, Press Release/by Admin

Maximise uptime with Toro’s MVP kits: Minimising downtime is something turfcare professionals actively guard against – and rightly so – but how much is maximising uptime considered? With Toro there are numerous ways to do this – and a small way that can make a significant difference.

Maintenance, value, performance – the three top priorities for turfcare professionals all wrapped up in one time-saving, budget-stretching package. Toro MVP kits provide all the parts for over 100 different maintenance issues in one box, helping to maximise uptime in multiple ways.

Maximise uptime with Toro’s MVP kits

Lasts longer

They are the same MVP kits everyone is used to with one significant difference – now the contents can cover longer hours, starting at 400 hours with some covering up to 1000.

Savings on individual parts costs

Not only are these maintenance parts competitively priced, but the total cost of each kit is significantly less than what it would be to purchase each part separately.

Streamline the process to save time

Toro understands that maintenance teams and workshop managers have lots of tasks to prioritise and these kits take several steps out of the process. With the maintenance task list listed on the box, it’s easy to stay on track and eliminate the guesswork.

Make planning easy

Why complicate maintenance? These kits bring peace of mind that the workshop is fully stocked all the time. They eliminate the need for much of the workshop planning and streamline the shopping list – and now there’s no need to look up the individual parts numbers!

Guarantee factory line specifications

MVP kits are designed to make it easier for technicians to maintain Toro equipment to factory specifications – every part fits perfectly and everyone can rely on the fact that the equipment is always properly maintained.

No downtime, only uptime

There’s no need to worry about missing that vital part right when it is needed and putting a hold on the machine incurring lost hours. Pretty much every eventuality is covered Toro’s MVP kits from rebuilding rollers and replacing hydraulic hoses to overhauling cutting units – making sure that no matter what the issue uptime is maximised and the machine keeps up with the turf’s demands.

Michael Hampton, Purchasing and Sales Process Manager at UK Toro distributor Reesink Turfcare, says: “It’s important for a machine’s performance and longevity that genuine parts are used with the exact engineering specifications for the machine. By choosing Toro MVP kits customers can be sure they get the best performance now with fewer problems down the line, all at the best possible price.”

All-female Grounds Team to Take Centre Stage

July 4, 2025/in Industry News, News, Press Release/by Admin

All-female Grounds Team to Take Centre Stage: This September, a landmark moment for Rugby will take place at the Twickenham Stadium as an all-female team of grounds professionals will prepare the pitch for the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 Final and Bronze Final, marking a historic first for the sport.

Led by the Grounds Management Association’s (GMA) NextGen group, alongside England Rugby and Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025, the initiative aims to champion female representation in the sector and promote the diverse career pathways that grounds management has to offer.

All-female Grounds Team to Take Centre Stage

Applications are now open for women working in the industry to join the 15-strong matchday team. These professionals will be responsible for managing the playing surface in the lead-up to, and during, two of the most high-profile fixtures in the women’s rugby calendar – both broadcast live on the BBC on Saturday 27 September 2025.

With women still underrepresented in the grounds management sector – making up less than 10% of the professional workforce – this initiative directly tackles the need for greater visibility, inclusion and long-term workforce sustainability.

Jim Buttar, Head of Grounds and Technical Operations at Twickenham Stadium, and GMA Board Member said: “We’re really proud to be hosting this initiative at Twickenham Stadium and to support the team delivering the pitch for such a major occasion. It’s no secret that our industry needs greater visibility and diversity, especially around female representation, so to see an all-female grounds team leading on one of rugby’s biggest stages will be a huge step forward. It sends a clear message about the opportunities that exist in grounds management, and we’re excited to play a part in that.”

It builds on the momentum of recent GMA initiatives designed to spotlight including the all-female grounds team that prepared the pitch at the Emirates Stadium for the Women’s Super League North London Derby between Arsenal and Tottenham in March 2024.

Geoff Webb, CEO of the leading membership organisation representing grounds personnel in the UK, the Grounds Management Association, says: “We’re incredibly proud to work with England Rugby and Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 to champion visibility and representation of our industry and the career opportunities that it presents. With women’s sport growing rapidly, it’s time the teams behind the scenes reflect that progress too. We want this to inspire more opportunities for women to consider careers in grounds management and to increase awareness of what a great opportunity a career in sports turf management offers, and to see that anything is possible.”

The opportunity is open to women across the sector with relevant experience, and successful applicants will take part in pre-event training and preparation ahead of matchday.
