The countdown to the Rugby World Cup has begun!

With under 1,000 days to go until Japan host the 2019 Rugby World Cup Finals for the first time, Harrod UK made a special trip over to the land of the rising sun to visit 2 of 12 venues that have been confirmed to stage the tournament matches.
Harrod UK’s Sales Development Manager, John Robinson made the 13 hour flight to Tokyo to soak up some of the anticipated atmosphere that has already been generated by this fantastic tournament. John commented “This fascinating country and her wonderful people are starting to embrace the tournament already, and we’re still 2 years away! It’s going to be phenomenal place to be once the tournament commences”.

The Shizuoka Ecopa Stadium in Fukuroi is the first stadium to install a new set of Harrod UK’s, 17m Millennium rugby posts. When quality equipment is required for major events, the UK’s leading sports post manufacturer were once again, the first port of call. John goes on to say “We have a very proud history of supplying and more importantly, delivering to many major sporting events across the UK and around the world. Overseeing the installation of this first set of rugby posts into the Ecopa Stadium was a special moment, especially when I was invited to kick the first goal through their new posts. It was an invitation I couldn’t refuse despite having a half dozen film crews zooming in on my technique!”

Kofu Field Co. are Harrod UK’s official distributors in Japan. They are now busily putting together proposals for the remaining stadia over the coming months. The Sapporo and Kumamoto Stadiums will bring its challenges for their rugby post installation because of their retractable (floating) pitch. A challenge that Harrod UK will thrive on to execute!

The Golf Club decided to invest in brand new machinery to improve the playing surface of the golf course for the members of the club. The machinery leased through Jacobsen included two Eclipse 322 ride-on greens mowers, two LF570 light fairway mowers, one LF1880 super-light fairway mower, one AR722 rotary mower, one GP400 greens mower and four Eclipse2 walking greens mowers.

Rohan Farrow, Interim Course Superintendent at Mount Lawley Golf Club commented on the new additions to the shed:
“I carried out a lot of research before committing to Jacobsen machinery. I looked at our capital expenditure and took things into account, such as reliability, running costs and back-up support, before putting a case forward to the club. Jacobsen came out on top in all of the criteria and the demos that we had on the course, so it was an easy decision in the end.

“I am particularly impressed with the quality of cut that the Eclipse 322 and the Eclipse2 mowers produce. The members have noticed the difference on the greens, and the team really enjoys using the machines; they are easy to use and in my opinion, they are the best cutting machines in the industry.”

The Eclipse2 walking greens mower also features a unique password-protected LCD menu which allows users to set the frequency of clip, mow speed and other settings to customise the mower to course conditions. There is a range of models available in both Hybrid or Electric.

“I also spoke to other Jacobsen customers before purchasing any machinery, and their feedback was very positive. Everyone spoke very highly of the machines; especially about the quality of cut and improvements they have seen on their respective courses,” Rohan added. “I am particularly excited about the LF1880 fairway mower; I believe it will transform the course here and double our efficiency when cutting surrounds.”

Mike Foskett, Regional Sales Manager at Jacobsen commented on the new fleet at Mount Lawley,
“This is a significant deal for us; Mount Lawley is a top-end club and has been using competitor equipment for a long time. We are pleased that they are seeing results on the golf course with the new Jacobsen equipment, and we look forward to building upon our relationship with Rohan and his team in the years to come.”

Mount Lawley Golf Club is located just 10 minutes from the centre of Perth city and is one of Western Australia’s premier sporting clubs. Since its formation in 1928, the Club and has hosted numerous State and National Amateur golf events and hosted the Western Australian Open Championships in 2013.
