WESTMINSTER GOES ELECTRIC

Grounds maintenance company, Krinkles UK have announced the arrival of their first shipment of Kress electric equipment, as they begin their journey towards a fully electric solution in their prestigious Westminster contract.

Writing on LinkedIn, assistant operations director, Steve Morris said, "The day was all about getting it right from the start - full training with the team, getting hands on with the equipment, and understanding how the app supports both the equipment and our app based works programme behind the scenes."

Steve continued by explaining, "It’s not just about bringing new equipment, but making a difference on the environment and people’s lives. The benefits are clear. Cleaner air and creating a peaceful environment for people enjoying the parks."

Asked by TurfPro how the transition to electric was going for their company, Steve told us, "Early feedback from the team has been really positive. There’s often a bit of reluctance to move away from petrol, or from other electric brands they’ve used in the past, but once they start using the equipment they don’t want to go back. In terms of performance, it’s now at a level where it matches what they would expect from the most professional petrol models.

"From our perspective, the build quality and power are up there with the best we’ve seen, which is why we’ve started to use Kress across a number of our contracts."

Steve also gave a special thank you to Kress UK and Ireland and Groundserv for their support on the day.
