Crawfords Group is pleased to announce the launch of VoltWorx26, Powered by Kress, a new free industry event focused on electrification, technology and sustainability within the amenity, groundcare and fleet sectors.
Delivered in partnership with Plumpton College, the event will take place on Tuesday 28th July at the AgriFood Centre, Plumpton College, Lewes, BN7 3AE.
VoltWorx26 will bring together local authorities, education providers, estate teams, greenkeepers, ground care professionals, sports pitch managers, fleet managers, contractors and organisations exploring more sustainable ways of working.
The event has been created to support businesses and public-sector organisations as they consider the future of electric machinery, EV fleets, robotic mowing, charging infrastructure, sustainable ground care and practical steps towards net zero.
Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from industry speakers, attend breakout sessions, visit trade stands and network with suppliers and professionals already working with lower-emission technology.
Confirmed keynote speakers include Tom Harris, Sustainability Manager at Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club, and Oliver Tucker, Managing Director of GreenBulb Energy, with additional speakers to be announced in the lead-up to the event.
Breakout sessions will include insight from Paul Larsen, Turf Consultant at PLarsen Consultancy, who will be exploring turf quality and performance using Kress robotic mowers, Ed Dennett, Marketing Manager of Fendt, Northwest Europe, who will discuss where electric tractors fit in public-sector and professional turf, and Will Clarke, Managing Director of Direct Enviro Services, who will be discussing VM-AI in vegetation and green space management, exploring how innovative technology is helping organisations manage landscapes more efficiently and sustainably.
Visitors will also be able to meet a range of leading industry brands and event partners, including Fendt, MAXUS, Isuzu, Manitou, Can-Am, Komatsu, Paragon Finance, Direct Enviro Services and GreenBulb Energy.
The afternoon will close with networking, locally sourced hot food and drinks, giving attendees the opportunity to continue conversations with speakers, exhibitors and other professionals from across the amenity and fleet sectors.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to be entered into a prize draw to win the use of a Fendt e107 Vario electric tractor for five days.*
Nunzio Rio, Sales Director at Crawfords Group, said: “VoltWorx26 has been created to give organisations practical insight into the future of amenity and fleet electrification. Many local authorities, schools, estates, sports facilities and contractors are now looking at how electric machinery, robotics, charging and low-emission technology could work for them. This event is about bringing those conversations together in one place and helping attendees explore what is possible.”
