Category expansions across Town & Country and Wilkinson Sword: Barrus is excited to announce the launch of its new product lineup for the 2024/25 season, featuring a wide array of new items and significant category expansions under its renowned Town & Country and Wilkinson Sword brands.

Town & Country: Expanding further into lifestyle sector

Continuing its extension into the lifestyle sector, Town & Country proudly presents the new Dragonfly range. This collection includes the popular Cloggies®, Gauntlet and Lux-Fit Gloves, Memory Foam Kneelers, two stylish umbrellas, a practical journal and more. Each product in the Dragonfly range combines functionality with fashionable design, making gardening and outdoor activities more enjoyable.

In addition to the Dragonfly range, Town & Country is also launching the new Bainton Wellington Boots, leisure and gardening boots for all seasons. These boots are 100% waterproof with neoprene insulation and durable PVC integrated soles. They are anticipated to be high sellers come autumn/winter this year, helping retailers make the most of this year’s wet weather.

The collection also includes a convenient, handheld Boot Cleaner, allowing consumers to easily clean footwear anywhere as well as a Boot Jack, an easy way to remove muddy boots with non-slip ridges for underfoot security, ideal for all types of footwear. These additions not only broaden and enhance Town & Country’s portfolio of high-quality outdoor footwear and accessories, but with smaller items now being introduced, also create additional impulse purchase opportunities for retailers too.

Wilkinson Sword: Enhancing the Ultralight range

Recognising the popularity and market opportunities in its hugely popular Ultralight range from Wilkinson Sword, for 2024/25, Barrus is introducing several new products to further expand the range. Gardeners will now be able to enjoy the lightweight benefits of Ultralight Snips, Ultralight Bypass Pruners, two types of Ultralight Loppers, and two further variations of Ultralight Branch and Shrub Cutters. These tools are designed to offer the perfect mix of strength and comfort with incredibly lightweight usability, making gardening tasks easier and more efficient without compromising on quality.

Additionally, within the Wilkinson Sword portfolio, developments have been made to the Razorcut Pro pruners, now with improved cutting performance, grip and comfort with a more appealing livery to add new dual layer grips and premium SK3 Japanese Steel blades.

POS to support new product lines

To support retailers in showcasing each of these new products and ranges, Barrus is also providing dedicated point-of-sale stands designed to maximise sales and attract customer attention including stand displays, full backwall solutions and innovative, eye-catching offerings to showcase the Town & Country Dragonfly range.

Sales reps on the move

Over the coming weeks, Barrus’ sales representatives will be showcasing the new products to customers and garden centres nationwide. Retailers interested in booking an appointment for a personalised demonstration can contact on 01869 363674 or email customer.services@barrus.co.uk.

Reesink and Toro combine at SALTEX: In celebration of 40 years working together, Toro distributor Reesink UK and The Toro Company have joined forces on stand at SALTEX for the first time to bring visitors to the show the biggest range of Toro groundscare machinery yet.

Alastair Rowell, Managing Director of Reesink UK, comments: “We wanted to do something special at SALTEX in recognition of our 40-year partnership. We’ve been providing the UK groundscare customers with Toro machinery options for decades and our stand will celebrate that. There will be 10 machines – our largest selection ever at a show; a range of Toro and Perrot irrigation solutions for the sports market, and – another first – an interactive racing game in conjunction with Mark Blundell’s racing team, MB Sports.”

Representing all that is new, innovative, productive, and versatile in the Toro range from Reesink Turfcare is the highly productive LT-F3000 triple flail mower; the latest model Toro Groundsmaster 7210, the zero-turn rotary mower that is rugged and durable enough to be called a Groundsmaster, and the Workman UTX utility vehicle which boasts 25 percent more cargo capacity than that of others in its class and a towing capacity of up to 2000lbs.

They are joined by two environmentally friendly versions of popular mowers. The Toro eProStripe removes fuel from the equation of guaranteeing a crisp stripe to turf and means sports turf professionals now have the solution to English Premier League guidance for noise generation.‪ Meanwhile, the Toro Groundsmaster e3200 battery-powered out-front mower with lithium-ion technology incorporates a smart battery management system for sustainable but productive mowing with zero emissions.From The Toro Company, there will be the Toro Revolution series Z Master and Grandstand and hand tools, the ProLine H600, and the 60V Flex Force Power System powered heavy-duty 53cm Proline and eTimeMaster walk-behind mowers.

Reesink Hydro-Scapes will be present with irrigation solutions from Toro. The new Tempus Decoder System, which will launch on stand, is the only decoder system that works in WiFi connection. There will also be a selection of the brand’s best-selling and most popular sprinklers all with turf cups. For many this will be the first opportunity to see Perrot, which is new to the Reesink range, and there will be a selection of sprinklers to suit all types of sports surfaces including football, golf, hockey, tennis, and even horse racetracks.

This year Toro has proudly sponsored the Mark Blundell Motorsport Racing Team with a Vista^® lithium-ion powered shuttle vehicle from Reesink to travel the British Touring Car Championships circuits with Jake Hill and his team.

Toro and Reesink are always looking to support the sports sector and young emerging talent, and this was the perfect way to do so and mark the 40^th year of working together. As such there will be two racing car simulators on stand giving visitors the opportunity to race any car at any racetrack in the world with coaches from MB Motorsport on hand giving guidance on achieving the best score and topping the leaderboard. The innovative Vista which serves as a crucial asset for transporting up to eight people will also be on display.

Whether you’re heading to the exhibition for the newest, most innovative groundscare and sports turf maintenance equipment, sustainable technology, or advice, Reesink and Toro has it all on stand K080.
