EX-GREENKEEPER JOINS SUPPLIER

Nick Gardener (pictured) has joined the Reesink team as the new area sales manager for Shropshire and Staffordshire, bringing experience from the greenkeeping world.

Before joining the supplier, Nick, a former tour player, earned his certifications as an apprentice greenkeeper at Broadway Golf Club in 2015, worked as area sales manager with Tallis Amos and became head greenkeeper at the Heythrop Park Golf Club. 

“What attracted me to this industry as an ex-greenkeeper was meeting the people who use our tools on the ground every day,” Nick explains. “It allows me to learn from them and help them further enhance their golf course, sports or commercial business for the future, especially with premium products and solutions like Toro.” 

Beginning his new role, Nick is eager to support turfcare professionals and strengthen Reesink’s presence in Shropshire and Staffordshire - and through this appointment, the company now offers full service and training for Toro machines in the area. 

“By going to customers directly, we can guarantee a great standard of care, giving precise and straightforward answers whenever a client needs our advice. Being the sole distributor of Toro commercial and grounds products in the UK, we can provide access to experienced product specialists and genuine Toro parts right on your doorstep. At the end of the day, it’s about first-class service.”

As a former head greenkeeper, Nick says he's looking to develop existing and new relationships in the area through open days where turfcare professionals can see new Toro machines up close and freely discuss future plans.
