Redexim and Russells Groundcare Strengthen Partnership

/in , /by

Redexim and Russells Groundcare Strengthen Partnership: Redexim and Russells Groundcare have announced a significant expansion of their long-standing partnership, with Russells now taking on responsibility for Yorkshire and Lincolnshire in addition to their existing Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire territory.

This development represents a natural evolution of a relationship built on trust, shared standards, and strong aftersales support.

For Redexim, the decision to widen Russells’ area was an easy one. Andy O’Neil, Regional Manager at Redexim, has known the Russells team for years and worked opposite them before working alongside them.

“I used to work for a company that competed with Russells daily for six years, so I know them very, very well,” Andy explains. “In the four years since they’ve become a Redexim partner, we’ve never had any issues. They’re professional and they’re well known and well thought of by their customers. There was nobody else we wanted to go to for covering the area.”

For Russells Groundcare, the expansion presents a major opportunity to strengthen their offering to professional turf customers across the region. Sales Manager Mark Willerton says the chance to take on a larger territory aligned perfectly with their own ambitions.

“The opportunity came to expand our area – having the franchise for Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire already, this opportunity arose and we grabbed it with both hands,” Mark says. “Redexim is a long-established brand. The Verti-Drain is so well known. Everyone refers to whatever aerator they have as a Verti-Drain. It’s the original and the best in the market.

Taking on the wider Redexim range gives us some unique products we’ve not had before, and it’s an exciting opportunity.”

Among those new additions to the Russells portfolio, Mark expects two stand-out lines to immediately resonate with their customer base.

“One product we’ve never had before is the Overseeder, which – especially with these dry summers – is becoming a much more popular machine. The Verti-Drain and the Redexim Overseeder excite us the most. They’re really going to boost things for us.”

Both companies agree that the extended partnership isn’t just about product reach – it’s about strengthening support for end users. Redexim has highlighted improved customer service as a key benefit of Russells’ expanded remit, something Mark is proud to echo.

“We really pride ourselves on our aftersales service,” he explains. “You sell the first machine, but you earn the chance to sell the second one based on your aftersales support. That’s something we’re absolutely focused on.”

The close working relationship between the two teams will only deepen as Russells move into their new territory. “We’re looking forward to getting out there with Andy and the Redexim team and doing some demonstrations,” says Mark.

With shared values, complementary strengths, and a unified commitment to exceptional customer care, the expansion signals a powerful next chapter in the Redexim–Russells partnership – one built firmly on collaboration.

AFH Groundcare Becomes a Distributor for DSV Seeds

/in , /by

AFH Groundcare Becomes a Distributor for DSV Seeds: AFH Groundcare has been announced as an official distributor for DSV Seeds, offering the EuroGrass Pro range and DSV’s amenity mixtures to customers across Gloucestershire.

Founded by Tom Hughes, AFH Groundcare has grown steadily over recent years, starting from owning just a single line marker to providing a comprehensive range of services, including sports turf maintenance, lawn care, renovations, and vegetation management. Tom’s passion for delivering the best possible results for his clients led him to explore the seed market, which ultimately led to his partnership with DSV.

“I provide a lot of fertilisers and was very keen on moving into offering seed,” said Tom. “Someone mentioned to me that DSV offers a fantastic range of grass seed. The same person introduced me to Samuel Horner (Business Manager) from DSV, so we met up, had a chat, and it’s been going well ever since.”

AFH Groundcare has already seen positive feedback from customers using DSV’s EuroGrass Pro mixtures. “A sports club I work with has been using it on their football pitch, and they are very happy with the results. Even in November, it was germinating incredibly well,” Tom shared.

One of the key strengths of AFH Groundcare’s approach is its commitment to providing tailored solutions for clients of all sizes and budgets. “With grassroots clubs, everyone knows they don’t have a lot of money. I always recommend EuroGrass Pro mixtures because I know their strengths and the high-quality varieties in them. Every club is different, and I’ll always provide whatever suits their needs.”

DSV’s EuroGrass Pro range is developed for professional use and offers high-performance mixtures tailored to different requirements, including Classic, Ornamental, Shade, Sport, and Renovation blends. These carefully composed mixtures take into account factors such as soil conditions, climate, and maintenance plans, ensuring the best results for turf professionals.

Tom values the support he receives from DSV, stating, “It’s great working with DSV. If there’s ever anything I’m unsure about or need, I just make one phone call, and they’re always readily available to help. I’ve never had any issues with deliveries – everything arrives on time, and I can’t fault them at all.”

As the relationship between AFH Groundcare and DSV continues to grow, more customers will have access to top-tier seed products designed to enhance playing surfaces across the region.

Greenstripe Groundcare Experience Remarkable Business Growth

/in , , /by

Greenstripe Groundcare Experience Remarkable Business Growth: Over the last two years, Lincoln-based Greenstripe Groundcare has seen remarkable growth, largely thanks to the addition of the Iseki TG6507 compact tractor.

Owner James Pask attributes the company’s increased productivity, efficiency, and premium client base directly to the versatility and performance of this high-specification machine.

By incorporating the TG6507 into daily operations, Greenstripe Groundcare has expanded its services, allowing them to take on more high-end contracts, including football clubs and cricket grounds.

The ability to attach high-quality implements and transport them without using a trailer has significantly improved productivity and the quality of work, ensuring that Greenstripe can easily meet the professional aesthetic demands of sports pitches and fine turf maintenance.

“The Iseki TG6507 has been absolutely instrumental in growing the business over the last two years,” says James. “It’s enabled a very significant uplift in productivity, in efficiency of operation, and the reach of the customer that I was trying to bring into the business as well.

“With the quality implements that you can put on to the tractor, the kind of aesthetic that we’re looking for football clubs and cricket fields is much easier to attain, and that’s what has helped us grow”

One of the standout features of the TG6507 is its IQ gearbox, which was a key requirement for James when selecting the tractor. The IQ gearbox allows for smooth, responsive shifting on the go, eliminating the need to set speed with pedals or rely on cruise control. James praises the three-range system, which ensures the right gear ratio is always available.

“This version does have the IQ gearbox, which was a specific want and need of mine over the hydrostatic box,” he explains. “For operating in fields like where I am today, I felt it would be much more convenient, and you’d get much more consistent performance.

“It has actually been an absolute joy to use. I have never been wanting for another ratio to turn around or to push on when I’m going down a straight, so it is a really good transmission.”

Another key factor in Greenstripe’s growth has been the TG6507’s versatility. The C4+ front loader has significantly expanded the range of tasks the business can undertake. From cleaning compost heaps to moving logs and loading trailers using the well-designed joystick controls, it has proven indispensable.

Whilst the productivity and quality produced by using the TG6507 have been standouts for James, his positive Iseki experience began when he first enquired about the tractor with his local Iseki dealer, Chandlers.

“I’ve had absolutely brilliant sales advice and service from Chandlers,” James notes. “When I was looking into buying the machine, I had various questions, which were very well addressed.

“When I took delivery of the machine, the handover was with the Chandlers sales rep and a senior Iseki representative as well, who made the time to come and do several hours walking around the machine to show me how to get the best out of it, and it really was a high-quality experience.”

On his experience overall, James concludes: “I absolutely would recommend the TG6 range, whichever part of the range is suitable for your needs. It has been a phenomenal tool to have.

“It’s manoeuvrability, fuel efficiency, what you can do with the soft controls in the cab when you want to fine-tune what you’re doing with your implement on the back, the versatility of the C4+ front loader, and it is just so reliable as well.

“It hasn’t let me down ever. So, I would say to anybody thinking, actually I need to upscale, should I look at something like this, absolutely go for it.”
