Standing on the shoulders of giants

Since 1976, the BALI Awards have recognised landscapers and landscaping businesses that push boundaries, inspire peers, and set the standard for excellence. Some winners have carried the tradition through generations, while others have redefined the industry with bold new approaches. The 50th Awards will celebrate this remarkable legacy, honouring the past, present, and future.

Put your best fork forward

With over 25 award categories, there’s an opportunity for every project to shine – whether through design, technical mastery, or environmental impact. Recognition from the BALI Awards not only elevates reputation among clients, but also attracts talent by highlighting a commitment to innovation and excellence.

BALI Chief Executive, Wayne Grills, said:

“I cannot stress enough just how incredible it is to be talking about our 50th holding of the BALI National Landscape Awards. It’s a truly magnificent achievement that they have been going strong for all these years, and a testament to the industry’s resilience.

“Of course, I’ve only been the custodian of these Awards for the past 15 years, but it gives me both great pride to be a steward of them and great excitement to be able to pay homage to all of those who made them what they are today.

“I encourage every landscaper, contractor, supplier and designer to enter these Awards. They are not only a fantastic promotion of your work to both industry and potential clients, but also a rare chance for you to take a moment and appreciate just how amazing your work is.”

New Buy Now, Pay Later offer on all Toro machinery

/in , /by

New Buy Now, Pay Later offer on all Toro machinery: Reesink Turfcare has announced its latest finance offering: a Buy Now, Pay Later deal with 0% interest across the entire Toro range, giving customers the opportunity to secure the machinery they need now, with nothing to pay until May 2026.

The new deal covers all Toro machinery with no exclusions – from greens or fairway mowers, out-front rotaries and robotic mowers to aerators and utility vehicles – and is open to all UK customers.

Jon Cole, Divisional Business Manager of Reesink Turfcare, explains the reasons behind this choice: “For many clubs and businesses, the end of the year can be a challenging time for cash flow: budgets have already been allocated while fleets and resources are often stretched.”

“This new offer means customers can plan ahead with confidence and order the latest Toro machinery today, without any payments until May next year.”

By acting now, customers can also avoid any potential price increases while upgrading their fleet before the next season begins, leveraging Toro’s latest machines to maintain optimal turf quality through the coming months and begin spring maintenance in the best possible way.

However, to meet a broad range of budgetary needs, Reesink continues to provide its usual selection of finance deals, which allow businesses to replace even a whole Toro fleet with an easily manageable upfront cost.

Short-term cash flow constraints don’t have to hold you back from using the best machines the turf and groundscare industries have to offer. With Reesink’s support and competitive financial packages, you can do more without touching your current budget to achieve the high turf standards your customers have come to expect.

For more details about the new Buy Now, Pay Later interest-free deal, visit www.reesinkturfcare.co.uk or call 01480 226800 to speak to a Reesink Turfcare representative.
