T H White partners with Reesink: T H WHITE Groundcare is the newest member of Reesink UK’s dealer network and, from January 2025, will support the distribution of Toro Commercial grounds equipment in Hampshire, Dorset, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire and the borough of Birmingham.

Toro is an exclusive brand, renowned worldwide for its cutting-edge and extremely durable groundcare machines. This partnership will broaden T H WHITE’s groundcare equipment offering, a pivotal move that better aids the team to successfully match each customer with the perfect solution for their needs. In particular, the dealer was awarded the franchise to sell ten models from Toro’s commercial groundcare range of cylinder, rotary, and flail mowers (non-golf).

T H WHITE will also oversee the distribution of genuine Toro parts in the region to its commercial groundcare customers ensuring maximum performance and longevity for their equipment, while providing servicing, repairs and support through a team of expertly trained technicians. The company will also provide backup on golf products sold through Reesink UK’s direct sales team in these areas.

Both companies look forward to this mutually beneficial relationship and are preparing for a successful 2025.

Reesink UK’s Managing Director Alastair Rowell celebrated this collaboration acknowledging that T H WHITE Groundcare is an “excellent addition” to their national network of dealerships.

“T H WHITE Groundcare offers great expertise, a proactive approach and a strong commitment to service excellence,” continued Alistair. “We are delighted to work with such a focused team of groundcare specialists.”

Commenting on their new collaboration, T H WHITE’s Divisional Director Adrian Lovegrove didn’t hide his enthusiasm, announcing that his team is “extremely pleased” to be working with Toro and Reesink as they are “highly respected brands in the industry.”

“Working with Reesink allows us to further enhance our offering, ensuring we can provide the right machine for every bespoke application. Our excellent staff and carefully selected partners are the cornerstone of our success, and this partnership strengthens our ability to meet the needs of our clients.”

Adrian concludes: “At T H WHITE Groundcare, we strive to deliver the best products and customer service to local authorities, sports and recreation venues, private estates and contractors. The addition of Toro to our lineup and the partnership with Reesink represents a significant milestone in our journey to provide industry-leading groundcare solutions.”

Stephen Bernhard to receive Outstanding Contribution Award

Stephen Bernhard to receive Outstanding Contribution Award: The British and International Golf Greenkeepers Association (BIGGA), has announced the finalists of the BIGGA Awards 2025, while also revealing that a lifelong supporter of greenkeeping is set to receive the association’s Outstanding Contribution Award with Kress.

The BIGGA Awards will be presented at the BIGGA Celebration with Kress, which takes place on the opening evening of the BIGGA Turf Management Celebration (BTME). Held in Harrogate each January, BTME is Europe’s largest gathering of golf greenkeepers and provides world class education and networking opportunities for BIGGA members and those working in the sports turf and golf industries.

Stephen Bernhard to receive Outstanding Contribution Award

At the BIGGA Celebration with Kress, Bernhard and Company founder Stephen Bernhard will be presented with the Outstanding Contribution Award. With an unwavering commitment to education and professional development, Stephen has provided countless opportunities for greenkeepers to achieve new heights, not least through his support of the BIGGA Delegation to the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show and the establishment of the Bernhard Academy in 2019.

Jim Croxton, BIGGA CEO, said: “Stephen Bernhard has been an inspirational character in our industry for decades and via his generous support – in particular of the BIGGA Delegation to the United States – he has made positive contributions to countless careers in greenkeeping. His enthusiasm for greenkeeping and the wider sports turf and horticultural sectors have been undimmed with the passing of time.

“He has always sought to innovate and challenge were appropriate and time spent with Stephen is always thought-provoking. I’m thrilled that we are able to recognise his outstanding commitment to our industry in this way.”

Stephen worked in his father Jeffrey Bernhard’s turf nursery and landscaping business from a young age. He formed Bernhard and Company in the 1970s and the business became a leading name in spin grinding in the 1980s with its renowned Anglemaster and Express Dual machines. Throughout its history Bernhard and Company has built a reputation for providing a range of innovative sharpening tools alongside educational support for greenkeepers and groundspeople and in 2008 the company was awarded the Queen’s Award for Industry.

Also to be presented at the BIGGA Celebration with Kress are the Championship Greenkeeping Performance of the Year with Bernhard and Company and the Greenkeeping Project of the Year with Price Turfcare awards. In both cases, the innovative thinking and creativity of BIGGA members are celebrated, with nominations being received throughout 2024.
