PSD Groundscare are celebrating after a highly successful GroundsFest, which was held at Stoneleigh Park in September.
This year’s GroundsFest came on the back of an extremely exciting 12 months for PSD, which has seen the successful launch of new products, including a range of Rotary Collection Mowers from the German Manufacturer Sabo. Visitors also had the opportunity to view innovative, quality products from Eliet, Canycom, Grin, Ecotech & Koeppl.
PSD Groundscare are the exclusive UK distributor of niche specialist machinery, with an extensive portfolio from global wide manufacturers. Their products offer maintenance solutions for green waste shredding, steep slopes, high grass, fine turf, landscaping, cleaning and general maintenance.
At the exhibition SABO re-entered the UK market, introduced by PSD, after their search for the most suitable UK Partner. SABO are one of the leading brands for high-quality battery and petrol walk behind collection mowers (“WBMs”) for both the Residential & Commercial markets.
PSD Sales Director Stuart Mercer said: “This is our second year at GroundsFest and we are huge advocates of the show. Being an outside based industry, it makes sense for us to attend an outdoor exhibition, allowing us the opportunity to demonstrate our products – something that we heavily rely on to provide a hands-on experience for potential, and existing customers.”
Overall, attendance was considerably up at this year’s event, a reported 30% on last year, with noticeably more suppliers in attendance.
Stuart continued: “Showcasing new products and meeting customers is extremely important to PSD and GroundsFest was the perfect platform to do this. We had lots of requests for demonstrations and had significant dealer interest.”
“In addition, the organisers had clearly listened to exhibitor feedback from last year’s event, resulting in a larger show with an improved layout for a better flow around the stands. The event has clearly gained momentum and we are already, eagerly, looking ahead to next year”.
Across the board, both visitors and exhibitors concluded that the event was a great opportunity to build contacts, carry out demonstrations and strengthen relationships.
