GroundsFest Registration Prize Winner Announced

/in , , /by

GroundsFest Registration Prize Winner Announced: The winner of the GroundsFest 2024 registration prize has been announced. Warwickshire-based landscaper Trevor Day was thrilled to recently collect his brand-new Toro ProStripe 560 pedestrian mower – a machine that promises to take his business to the next level.

Every person who registered for GroundsFest 2024 was entered into the prize draw for a chance to win the Toro ProStripe 560. Renowned for its precision and clean striped finish, the ProStripe is a favourite among grounds professionals, excelling in both sports fields and fine turf applications.

Trevor, who runs his own landscaping business, couldn’t be more excited about his new mower. “I’m itching to start cutting some grass with it. I’ve heard a lot about the Toro ProStripe, and I know it’s going to hugely benefit my business,” he said. “It was the cherry on top after attending the fantastic GroundsFest 2024. The event was exactly what the industry has been crying out for—somewhere you can not only see new products but actually get hands-on and try them out. It’s so refreshing to attend an event that allows us to make informed decisions, rather than just talking specs and features. GroundsFest lets you experience the products firsthand, which is a game changer for anyone in the industry.”

Matthew Coleman, Sales Manager Professional Landscape Contractor & Site Works Equipment for the UK Direct Market, echoed Trevor’s enthusiasm. Toro UK sponsored the registration prize and reported an overwhelmingly successful debut at the show.

“It was a pleasure to sponsor the registration prize at GroundsFest this year, our first year of exhibiting as Toro UK, and what a great first year it was,” Matthew said. “I can see the future potential in GroundsFest and see how this event will help us promote our offerings to a large proportion of our markets. The show provides everything required to showcase both ends of our vast portfolio—hats off to the GroundsFest Team.”

He added, “A huge congratulations to the winner of our sponsored prize! It was fantastic to see how appreciative Trevor was in receiving his new Toro ProStripe. It was quickly evident the ProStripe has gone to a deserving winner and someone who’s very excited to create his first Toro stripes!”

GroundsFest continues to deliver memorable experiences for both exhibitors and attendees, and Trevor’s win is just one example of the many highlights from the event.

Why GroundsFest Stands Out:

Hands-On Experience: GroundsFest is not just another trade show—it’s the only event where visitors can see machinery in action and get hands-on experience with the latest equipment. This immersive approach allows attendees to gain a real understanding of how the machinery performs in real-world conditions, making it an invaluable experience for professionals across the industry.

Unmatched Variety: At GroundsFest, you’ll find hundreds of leading brands, each bringing their latest innovations and solutions to the forefront. Whether you’re looking for advanced machinery, cutting-edge tools, or the latest in green technology, GroundsFest has it all. No other event offers such a comprehensive display of products and solutions for the groundscare and landscaping industries.

Battle of the Brands: Witness top brands compete in thrilling face-offs, showcasing the best products in action. This new area also features equipment challenges where visitors can compete against friends and colleagues for a chance to win fantastic prizes.

Exclusive Offers and Discounts: Many exhibitors will be running exclusive offers and discounts, making GroundsFest the perfect place to secure great deals on the equipment you need.

Live Music Festival: After a day of exploration and learning, unwind with live music, street food, and fun activities such as bumper cars. Enjoy performances from great DJs and live bands, including the returning Queen tribute band and new acts. The festival area has been expanded to accommodate the growing number of attendees.

Free Registration and Special Prizes: Registration for GroundsFest 2024 is now open and free for all attendees. Every registrant will be entered into a draw to win a Toro ProStripe® 560 mower. This versatile machine is designed to provide a precise cut and clean striped finish, making it ideal for sports fields, fine turf applications, and residential gardens.

Support Education: By attending GroundsFest, you’re also supporting the GroundsFest Education Fund. Profits from the event are reinvested back into the industry to provide invaluable support to students at land-based colleges, ensuring they can overcome specific barriers that might otherwise hinder their educational journey.

The surge in visitor registrations is a clear indication of the industry’s excitement for GroundsFest 2024. Thousands have already secured their spots, eager to experience the unique opportunities GroundsFest offers.

“GroundsFest is more than just a trade show—it’s a celebration of the groundscare and landscaping industries. The incredible response from visitors underscores the demand for an event that offers hands-on experiences, live demos, and comprehensive networking opportunities,” says Christopher Bassett, Event Director.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of the industry’s must-attend event. Register now for free at www.groundsfest.com and prepare for an unforgettable experience at GroundsFest 2024.
