/in , /by

DEWALT to partner with Wildwood Machinery: Hampshire-based Wildwood Machinery continues to extend the range and prestige of their product portfolio with the announcement of a partnership with US manufacturer DEWALT – a brand that has stood for quality, endurance and professionalism for more than 100 years.

Managing director James Bastian, who has overseen Wildwood’s rapid growth since establishing the business in 2022, commented:

“DEWALT’s landscaping, forestry and outdoor power equipment will fill an important place in our portfolio. Our aim is to be the supplier of choice in southern England for all commercial groundcare equipment – that covers everything from sports turf to large estates. With our expanding product partnerships and outstanding service back-up, we can help land managers to do the very best job.”

“This is a new and innovative range of products from DEWALT which will further expand over the next year, and so we anticipate channeling new products into the UK market as and when they become available.”

DEWALT Landscaping & Forestry products are not available on the high street – only through authorised dealers, of which Wildwood Machinery is one of the first in the UK.

“For our client base and target market of land managers, farms, golf courses and estates, DEWALT’s heavy-duty chainsaws, trimmers, brushcutters and blowers will complement other solutions such as big-brand robotics, autonomous mowers, tractors and light rigs,” says James Bastian.

Richard Mallinson, Commercial Director at DEWALT says, “When you work outdoors, the right gear makes all the difference. If a tool fails, you lose time and money. Our new range of Landscaping & Forestry products deliver durability and reliability and are designed for safety and comfort, with all-day power and performance to handle long hours in the toughest environments.”

DEWALT’s range of powered hand-held outdoor tools use tried and tested battery systems and solutions which are proven with professional users, which means less maintenance, emissions, noise and cost compared to petrol equipment. They are ergonomically advanced and enhanced with state-of-the-art safety features.

James Bastian adds, “DEWALT solutions are ultra-reliable, high-performing, easy to use and safe – everything that we look for when advising our clients on the optimum products for their specific groundcare and land maintenance tasks.”

Dennis & SISIS Partner with Croquet England

/in , /by

Dennis & SISIS Partner with Croquet England: Dennis and SISIS, in association with Croquet England, recently hosted a highly informative Croquet Lawn/Court Maintenance One-Day Seminar at the Bristol Croquet Club. The event attracted croquet enthusiasts and lawn care professionals eager to enhance their knowledge and skills in maintaining croquet lawns to the highest standards.

The day began with registrations and refreshments, followed by an introduction and welcome from Robert Jack of Dennis and SISIS. Robert emphasised the importance of thorough lawn maintenance and the value of the seminar’s hands-on approach.

Stuart Yarwood from DLF led the first session by focusing on evaluating and preparing croquet lawns. Participants gained insights into understanding the lawn’s condition beneath the surface. This presentation particularly struck a chord with attendee Martin Pollard, who said, “We really enjoyed the day and learned a lot from it, with the key takeaway for us being that we are not doing enough analysis of what’s underneath the surface.”

Following a refreshment break, Robert Jack discussed how to get the best performance from your mower. This session covered the intricacies of mower maintenance and operation. Attendee Simon Clay commented, “The whole day was really helpful from the initial lectures on lawn management to the practical session on lawnmower maintenance – it was a revelation.”

After a complimentary lunch, attendees moved to the lawn for practical demonstrations. These demonstrations covered essential lawn care techniques, including aeration, scarification, brushing, and mowing. The hands-on nature of this session allowed participants to see the equipment in action and understand its application. Attendee Tim Martin said, “Whilst I knew a bit about grass cutting, aeration and treatments, the day brought the whole thing together and also filled many gaps!”

Stuart then presented on End of Season Renovation of a Croquet/Lawn Court, providing tips and strategies for maintaining lawn quality and health during the off-season. This session emphasised the importance of seasonal care to ensure year-round playability and lawn longevity.

The day concluded with a ‘Turf Clinic’—a Q&A session where attendees could ask specific questions and receive expert advice from the presenters. This interactive session offered tailored solutions and clarified any remaining doubts. Martin Pollard said, “The instructors knew their stuff and were excellent.”

The seminar was a resounding success, with participants leaving with a wealth of knowledge and practical tips to implement in their lawn maintenance routines. Dennis and SISIS, in collaboration with Croquet England, look forward to hosting more such events in the future to continue supporting the croquet community and promoting excellence in lawn care.

Bernhard announces new Canadian distribution partner: The industry-leader in fine turf management solutions, Bernhard and Company, has continued its development within the Canadian territory via a new partnership with Canadian distributor, OJ Compagnie.

Founded in 1967, OJ Compagnie was originally set-up as a specialised seed company, before moving into the golf sphere.

The new relationship comes as Bernhard and Company looks to increase its business presence through improved contact with new prospects across Canada, with OJ Compagnie covering the geographical area of Quebec.

Commenting on the new partnership, Phil Jangl at OJ Compagnie, said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Bernhard and Company and we believe it’s a relationship that will be a hugely beneficial one for both parties.

“I would say that every golf course in Quebec is our customer, whether on a large scale or on a small scale, and we’re well known in the industry. I think we have a good reputation for our customer service and showing that we really care, which is something that Bernhard and Company has always demonstrated too – making this relationship a perfect fit.”

Gary Ray, Bernhard and Company’s Business Development Manager for North America, added: “We are thrilled to continue to enhance our presence in Canada. OJ Compagnie is a business that is undeniably aligned to our values and principles, and we are excited to see where this partnership leads.”

OJ was originally founded by Otto Jangl in 1967, amassing nearly 50 years of experience in the turf maintenance industry. After Otto Jangl passed away in 2008, the business has been run by his children, Gabrielle Jangl and Phil Jangl.

Bernhard and Company grinding machines are used by more than 65 per cent of the world’s top 100 golf courses to ensure perfect, tournament-ready playing conditions year-round, while the company’s turf management solutions and educational support are utilised at major sporting events around the globe.
