“It is a natural extension for Jonathan Philp and the J&R team to sell Powerland,” says Neil Everett, BOSS ORV’s National Sales Manager. “They will provide coverage across Cornwall and South Devon for this exciting new electric ATV.”

The Tachyon is claimed to be one of the fastest ATVs in the world. It offers all the benefits of conventional off-road utility vehicles while ensuring no damage to the environment. The manufacturer says they have the aim of inspiring more companies to fundamentally change the way they operate for a more sustainable future. The Tachyon is a fully electric (Li-ion) road-legal ATV with tractor homologation. Direct drive hub motors help the vehicle achieve up to 50hp and 210Nm of torque at each wheel. Features include a vehicle diagnostic app, 12v lighter socket, 5v USB socket and 4×4/4×2 driving modes.

“We’re very pleased to be appointed as Powerland dealers,” says J&R’s Jonathan Philp. “The Tachyon allows us to offer our customers a real environmentally friendly alternative to fuel-powered ATVs.”

Reesink’s new Area Sales Manager appointed

/in , , /by

Reesink’s new Area Sales Manager appointed: Nick Gardener is delighted to join the Reesink team as the new Area Sales Manager for Shropshire and Staffordshire, bringing invaluable experience from the greenkeeping world.

Before answering Reesink’s call, Nick, a former tour player, earned his certifications as an apprentice greenkeeper at Broadway Golf Club in 2015, worked as Area Sales Manager with Tallis Amos and became Head Greenkeeper at the Heythrop Park Golf Club.

“What attracted me to this industry as an ex-greenkeeper was meeting the people who use our tools on the ground every day,” Nick explains. “It allows me to learn from them and help them further enhance their golf course, sports or commercial business for the future, especially with premium products and solutions like Toro.” 

Mentioning his passion for the brand he continues: “When I first started as a greenkeeper we had Toro products and I used to go to Reesink for training, so it feels a bit like I’ve gone full circle, in a good way. It’s a dream come true, really.”

Beginning his new role, Nick is eager to support turfcare professionals and strengthen Reesink’s presence in Shropshire and Staffordshire – and through this appointment, the company now offers full service and training for Toro machines in the area. 

“By going to customers directly, we can guarantee a great standard of care, giving precise and straightforward answers whenever a client needs our advice. Being the sole distributor of Toro commercial and grounds products in the UK, we can provide access to experienced product specialists and genuine Toro parts right on your doorstep. At the end of the day, it’s about first-class service.”

As a former Head Greenkeeper, Nick will also be looking to develop existing and new relationships in the area through open days where turfcare professionals can see new Toro machines up close and freely discuss future plans. 

Among many priorities, Nick looks forward to helping sports, commercial and turf managers deliver more value, improve efficiency and gain more time for planning their turfcare programme. For instance, he believes automated mowers and sprayer technologies can empower turfcare professionals to achieve more with less: “I think automation is going to be a very good thing, enabling course managers to get off mowers and refine their broader turfcare health strategy.”

“This way, we can close the gap between the standards of British and American golf courses, which on average have higher budgets and more manpower,” Nick continues. “With enhanced greenkeeping knowledge, automated power and more reliable equipment, we can narrow that gap and take the quality of our golf courses to an even higher level.” 

Nick is only a phone call away and he’s happy to drop by to have a conversation in person about your turfcare needs. You can find him at 07425 757 386 or nicholas.gardener@reesinkuk.co.uk.

Adam Butler, sales director of Baroness adds, “It’s very exciting times for Baroness. To stay in line with our company’s business plan for the continued growth of Baroness & AgriMetal products in the UK, and our association with other Japanese made products. We really feel our new partnership with Henton & Chattell is a great fit for all and very much look forward to working with the whole team. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the team at PS Marsden, who have done a fantastic job supporting Baroness in the area over the past few years, and wish them all the very best for the future.”
