A year on from sharing how robotic line marking had transformed its operation, family-run grounds maintenance contractor Groundtel Ltd has continued to invest – adding a third TinyLineMarker to its fleet and already looking towards a potential fourth.
Servicing more than 150 schools alongside sports grounds and other prestigious sites, Groundtel has developed a substantial line-marking operation combining the efficiency and accuracy of GPS robotic technology with decades of practical grounds maintenance experience.
And recently, that experience took the company considerably further afield – all the way to Cannes in the south of France.
For Contracts Manager Danny Perkins, a member of the family behind Groundtel, the company's continued investment in robotic technology demonstrates just how important line marking has become to the business.
“When we bought our first robot in 2021, we knew fairly quickly that it was going to change the way we worked,” says Danny.
“The second gave us the capacity to really start pushing what we could achieve. We've now invested in our third and we're already looking at potentially adding a fourth in the near future.
“They've gone from being something new that we were trying to becoming an essential part of how we operate.”
