Demand for trenchers ‘sky high’

Demand for trenchers ‘sky high’: Trencher Hire UK has had its busiest August ever since starting out a decade ago – bucking the usual  trend of a slowdown during this, the main month in the holiday season.

Operations Manager Steve Kingdom commented: “We’ve been working flat-out delivering and picking up machines, then preparing them prior to hiring out to the next customer. Demand has exceeded supply and we are now having to offer dates in September.

“The weather has been for the most part sunny and the ground conditions dry and very hard in places, but nothing to worry our fleet of trenchers which are real workhorses that just keep neatly digging-out out sometimes hundreds of metres of channelling in a day.

“September looks like being a very busy month too – so it’s best to make an inquirer sooner rather than later.”

The current fleet of units comprise Toro and Vermeer machines covering trenching depths of between 150mm up to 900mm.  The units available to hire comprise: Toro TRX-16, Toro TRX-20, Toro TX-525 with trencher head, Vermeer RTX200 and Vermeer RTX525.

PSG Pitch Expert Gives Sky Blues Upgrade Advice

PSG Pitch Expert Gives Sky Blues Upgrade Advice: The man responsible for preparing the pitch for the world’s most expensive footballer was on turf much closer to home this week.

Co Antrim native Jonathan Calderwood, who is groundsman at Paris St Germain’s magnificent Parc des Princes stadium, was at the Ballymena Showgrounds to pass on a few tips, although Neymar is not likely to be following in his footsteps.

The Warden Street pitch has come under fire for many a long year and the club working alongside Mid and East Antrim Council have ambitious plans to improve things next summer.

With the Broughshane man back home, it was the perfect opportunity to take advantage of his expertise so that the green shoots of recovery take hold on the Sky Blues’ pitch.

Before moving to Paris, Calderwood’s CV included Glentoran, Wolves, Aston Villa and Wembley, so tackling the Braid sward should be a doddle.

United vice-chairman Don Stirling explained: “It was great to have Jonathan’s input and it was a very useful exercise for ourselves and the Council, who will be the lead players in the development.

“We hope to start work in the summer, which will see the pitch raised and re-laid, meaning it will be suitable for European football. If all goes according to plan, the pitch will be ready in time for the SuperCup NI.”
